Parents do anything they can to give their kids the best education. According to a report published by the Sutton Trust,a third of “professional parents” with children aged between 5 and 16 have moved to an area be-cause they think it has good schools.
Some go further: 6% of the 1 ,000 parents surveyed said they started to attend church(教堂) services to help their children get a place at a church school; 3% said using a relative's address to get children into a better school; and 2% said they had bought a second home and used that address for a better school.
It seems strange that parents,while paying close attention to school,seem often to forget a much cheaper way of improving their children's educational situation — a stable (稳定的) family. There's plenty of research to back all this up: a recent study by the Childhood Wellbeing Research Centre found that children aged seven and older usually did more poorly in exams and behaved badly at school if their parents broke up. Another report by the Economic and Social Research Council, found that a stable family life meant children were more likely to take in what was offered in the classroom. According to the Royal College of Psychiatrists, teenagers whose par-ents were fighting or separating might find it difficult to concentrate (集中注意力) at school.
Of course,many marriages are progressing well even if there’re unpleasant matters in life. I've been married for more than a quarter of century,and the one thing I'm sure of is that it's not a bed of roses. I've also got four children aged between 11 and 21; and while Tm truly thankful to the many teachers who have taught them,and the schools theyVe been pupils at,iVe felt fairly certain as the years go by that a stable home is much more important than where their school sits in the local league tableC^Ni1^) .
So paying a few hundred pounds for a family relationship course could be a much better use of the family money than spending thousands on moving houses. I can't help wondering whether the only sure winners from the fight to live by the best school gates are house sellers rather than the very children the move is designed to help.

Finally I got my driving license (^M) last summer. Mum decided to go with me to take my first trip around an empty parking lot.

Since I could no longer practise with her,the job was 3 in the hands of my father. The idea of learning from Dad was not so 4 I loved him deeply,but I just did not see Dad as someone I could be comfortable learning from. He almost never talked.

As we got into the car that first time,I was not surprised at what happened. Dad and I drove around,saying almost nothing,except for a few instructions on how to turn.

I was soon hearing about past failed dates, “basic body” gym class,and other stories from his past,including some of his first meeting with Mum.
I thought why Dad was telling me so much in the car. In all the years that I had 9 why my father never spoke that much. I had never stopped to consider that it was because I had never stopped to listen. Homework,friends,and even TV had all called me away from him,and I never thought my 10 father had anything to say.
Since I began driving with him, my driving skill has greatly increased. More important is that I got to know my father more and more. Just living with him wasn’t enough — - it took driving with him for me to get to know someone who was a mystery (神秘) .
