A
The house was quiet at 5
a.
m. and Tim’s mother was asleep. Only
the sound of the big freezer
broke the
quiet. He’d dreamt of the cave last
night
. The purring
(
轻微颤动声
) of the freezer had
been the sea.
Tim
pulled
on
a
sweater
and
put
some
apples
into
his
schoolbag.
It
was
too
early
for
breakfast. He’d eat
after he’d been through the cave, sitting on the
rocks and staring at the se
a.
He wished he had a proper pack. His
schoolbag would have to do. What else? Sandwiches
---
but
his
mother
might
wake
up
if
he
started
pulling
out
bread
for
sandwiches,
she’d
want
to
know why
he had to leave so early. He settled for some
biscuits, and left a note stuck to the table.
Gone to Michael’
s Back
tonight .Tim.
The sky was
high and soft and light outside, though the sun
still wasn’t up. Even the highway
up
the hill was quiet as he made his way down the
street. The wind from the sea was fresh and
sweet.
The sandhills
stil
l breathed heat from yesterday’s
sun, though the top of the sand was cool.
He ran down to the beach impatiently,
but there was no one, just dry sand dancing in the
early
wind and seabirds marching up and
down watching the waves.
The light
changed suddenly. The first rays of sunlight
stretched across the sea. The sun was
pushing its way over the edge of the
world
．
Over the
first rocks, along to the point, Tim glanced back.
The beach was still empty. The sun
sailed higher in the sky.
He
could see the cave now, even darker in the morning
light. The sand turned silver then dark
gold as the water flowed away from it.
He had to force himself to go closer. Why was it
so much
more mysterious now? But it
would be silly to go back now after so much
trouble. He needn’t
go
in
all the way …

“
A very
destructive seven-year old child kicked my legs
and scratched at my hand,
”
said one
teacher.
“
I broke up a fight and was
kicked,
”
said another. Many
people have heard stories like this.
But the situation is more worrying
still and it involves parents.
Every child, regardless of the
circumstances into which they are born, has the
right to achieve
their potential,
regardless of their parents’ wealth and
cl
ass. And we recognize that, as a
nation, it
is a long way to achieve
this goal. But rights come with responsibilities
and what worries people is
that we are
in danger of neglecting the latter.
Far too many children are behaving
badly at school, even to the point of being
violent to staff.
This is terrible
enough
，
but it is hard to be
surprised since many children are just mirroring
the
behavior of their parents. Too many
are starting school unable to hold a knife and
fork, unused to
eating at a
table
，
and unable to use the
lavatory properly.
We are
in danger of becoming a nation of families living
separate lives under one roof. The
bedroom,
once
a
place
to
sleep,
has
become
the
living
space
for
the
young.
Spending
hours
in
front
of
computer
screens,
on
social
networking
sites
or
being
immersed
in
computer
games,
children and young people spend little
time with their parents. Parents are unable to
monitor just
what their children are
watching.
Schools
cannot
right
the
wrongs
of
society
and
teachers
cannot
become
substitute
parents.
Both
parties
need
to
work
together.
Parents
must
be
helped
and
given
confidence
to
take
back
control. They are responsible for
setting boundaries for their children’s behavior
and sticking to
those boundaries when
the going gets tough. They are responsible for
setting a good example to
their
children and for devoting that most precious of
resources---time---so that children come to
school ready and willing to learn.
