Read the following statements :

Assertion (A) : A middle school teacher keeps in regular touch with the parents of students of her class to understand them better.
Reason (R) : Communities should direct how and what the children should learn.

Choose the correct option.

  • A.Both (A) and (R) are true and (R) is the correct explanation of (A).
  • B.Both (A) and (R) are true but (R) is not the correct explanation of (A).
  • C.(A) is true but (R) is false.
  • D.Both (A) and (R) are false.

Answer: C

(A) is true but (R) is false.

Keeping in regular touch with parents is good practice: it helps the teacher understand each child's background, interests and difficulties, and builds a partnership between home and school. So the Assertion is true.

The Reason goes too far. Parents and communities are partners who support children's learning and whose knowledge can enrich the curriculum, but they do not direct how and what children should learn; that rests on curriculum frameworks and the teacher's professional judgement. Because the Reason is false, options A, B and D are wrong.
