1 It is difficult to estimate the number of youngsters involved in home

from one or both parentsLegislation and court decisions have made it legally
possible in most states for parents to educate their children at homeand each year
more people take advantage of that opportunity
Supporters of home education claim that it is less expensive and far more efficient
than mass public education Moreover they quote several merits:relief of school
overcrowdingadded curricular and pedagogical(课程教学法)
alternativesstrengthened family relationshipslower dropout ratesincreased
motivationhigher standardized test scoresand reduced discipline
problemsSupporters of home schooling also believe that it provides the parents with
the opportunity to reinforce their moral values through education
Critics of home schooling movement claim that it creates as many problems as it
solvesThey acknowledge thatin a few caseshome schooling offers educational
opportunities superior to those found in most public schoolsbut few parents can
provide such educational advantagesSome parents who withdraw their children from
the schools in favor of home schooling have an inadequate educational background and
insufficient formal training to provide a satisfactory education for their
childrenTypicallyparents have fewernot moretechnological resources available
than do schoolsHoweverthe relatively inexpensive computer technology that is
readily available today is causing some to challenge the notion that home schooling
is in any way not so good as more highly structured classroom education
Finallya sociological(社会学)concern is the restricted social interaction
experienced by children who are educated at homeTechnology will never replace the
pupilteacher relationshipAlsowhile relationships with parents and brothers and

2 For Americanstime is aresourcethatlike water or coalcan be used well
or poorlyTime is moneythey sayYou only get so much time in this
lifeyou’d best use it wiselyThe future will not be better than the past or the
present unless people use their time for constructivefutureoriented
activitiesThusAmericans admire awellorganizedpersonone who has a written
list of things to do and a schedule for doing them The ideal person is punctual and
treasures other people’s time
The American attitude towards time is not necessarily shared by othersespecially
nonEuropeansThey are more likely to consider time as something that is simply there
around themnot something they canuseOne of the more difficult things many
foreign businessmen and students must adjust to in the States is the notion that
time must be saved whenever possible and used wisely every day
In their efforts to use their time wisely Americans are sometimes seen by foreign
visitors as automatons unhuman creatures who are so tied to their clocks and their
schedules that they cannot participate in or enjoy the human interactions that are
the truly important things in lifeThey are like little machines running
aroundone foreign visitor said
The emphasis Americans place on efficiency is closely related to their concepts of
the futurechange and timeTo do something efficiently is to do it in the way that
is quickest and requires the smallest investment of resources American businesses
sometimes hireefficiency expertsto review their operations and suggest ways in
which they could accomplish more than they are currently accomplishing with the
resources they are investing Popular periodicals carry suggestions for more
efficient ways to clean houseraise childrentend the yardand so on
In this context thefastfood industrycan be seen as a clear example of an
American cultural product McDonald’sKentucky Fried ChickenPizza Hutand other
fastfood establishments prosper in a country where many people want to minimize the
amount of time they spend preparing and eating mealsThe millions of Americans who
take their meals at fastfood restaurants cannot have much interest in lingering over
their food while conversing with friendsas millions of Europeans doAs McDonald’s
restaurants have spread around the worldthey have been viewed as symbols of
American society and culturebringing not just hamburgers but an emphasis on
speedefficiencyand shiny cleanlinessThe typical American foodsome observers
argueis fast food
