大學(xué)英語(yǔ)作文：Changing Roles of Public Education教育的角色變化

　　one of the most important social developments that helped to make possible a shift in thinking about the role of public education was the effect of the baby boom of the 1950's and 1960's on the schools.in the 1920's, but especially in the depression conditions of the 1930's, the united states experienced a declining birth rate --- every thousand women aged fifteen to forty-four gave birth to about 118 live children in 1920, 89.2 in 1930, 75.8 in 1936, and 80 in 1940.with the growing prosperity brought on by the second world war and the economic boom that followed it young people married and established households earlier and began to raise larger families than had their predecessors during the depression.birth rates rose to 102 per thousand in 1946,108.2 in 1950, and 118 in 1955.

　　公共教育的角色變化一項(xiàng)重要的、有可能促使人們對(duì)公共教育的角色的看法發(fā)生轉(zhuǎn)變的社會(huì)發(fā)展是本世紀(jì)五六十年代的生育高峰對(duì)學(xué)校的影響。在20年代，尤其是在30年代后的大蕭條中，美國(guó)經(jīng)歷了一次出生率的下降--1920年每千名年齡在15歲至45歲的婦女生下大約118個(gè)存活嬰兒，1930年89.2個(gè)，1936年75.8個(gè)，1940年80個(gè)。隨著二戰(zhàn)帶來(lái)的持續(xù)繁榮以及隨之而來(lái)的經(jīng)濟(jì)增長(zhǎng)，年輕人比大蕭條中的同齡人更早地結(jié)婚成家，而且比前輩養(yǎng)育更大的家庭。1946年出生率上升到102%，1950年達(dá)108%，1955年達(dá)118%。
