In recent decades child specialists have tried more and more to help parents with their children’s school behavior. Schools of education (31) tended to emphasize subject matter (32) what the children are being taught, but attention increasingly is being paid to the children themselves. One area (33) emphasized is the matter of a (34) developmental or "maturity" level--that is, the child’s (35) of readiness for starting school. Research demonstrated that a major (36) of children who fail in school (37) primarily because of their immaturity and their unreadiness for the work of the (38) that law designates: age five for kindergarten, age six for first grade. Common sense (39) us that not all five-year-olds have reached (40) average level of performance expected (41) age five.

Visitors will notice this desire in a number of small ways; there may be rooms in American homes that do not have doors or that have glass walls. If you notice that people forget to close your door when they leave your room, do not think that this is rude, help them to learn that you would like it to be closed, or else become accustomed to new ways. In either case, be patient with the differences. Visitors will notice Americans’ desire for openness in the way()
