Surprisingly,no one knows how many children receive education in English hospit als,still less the content or quality of that education.Proper records are jus t not kept.We know that more than 850.000 children go through hospital each year,and that every child of school age has a legal right to continue to receive education wh ile in hospital.We also know there is only one hospital teacher to every 1,000 children in hospital.
Little wonder the latest survey concludes that the extent and type of hospital t eaching available differ a great deal across the country.It is found that half the hospitals in England which admit children have no teacher.A further quarter have only a part|time teacher.The special children’s hospitals in major cities do best;general hospitals in the country and holiday areas are worst off.From this survey,one can estimate that fewer than one in five children have som e contact with a hospital teacher—and that contact may be as little as two hour s a day.Most children interviewed were surprised to find a teacher in hospital at all.They had not been prepared for it by parents or their own school.If the re was a teacher they were much more likely to read books and do math or number work;without a teacher they would only play games.
Reasons for hospital teaching range from preventing a child falling behind and m aintaining the habit of school to keeping a child occupied,and the latter is of ten all the teacher can do.The position and influence of many teachers was summ ed up when parents referred to them as“the library lady”or just“the helper”.Children tend to rely on concerned school friends to keep in touch with school w ork.Several parents spoke of requests for work being ignored or refused by the school.once back at school children rarely get extra teaching,and are told to catch up as best they can.
Many short|stay child|patients catch up quickly.But schools do very little to e ase the anxiety about falling behind expressed by many of the children interviewed.

参考译文：
让人惊讶的是，无人了解有多少孩子在英语医院同意教育，但教育的内容或水平却更少。正确的记录只不过没保存。大家了解，每年有超越85万儿童通过医院，并且每一个适龄儿童都有继续在医院同意教育的合法权利。大家也了解医院里每1000个孩子只有一个医院老师。
难怪近期的一项调查得出结论，全国各地医院的分布范围和种类都有非常大差异。据发现，英国有一半收留儿童的医院没教师。另外四分之一的学校只有一名兼职教师。大城市的特殊儿童医院做得最好，乡村和度假区的综合医院做得最差。从这项调查中，大家可以估计不到五分之一的儿童与医院教师有接触，这种接触可能一天只有两小时。大部分受访儿童都非常惊讶地发现医院里有一位老师。他们没为爸爸妈妈或他们我们的学校做好筹备。假如Re是一名教师，他们更大概念书，做数学或数字作业；假如没老师，他们只能打游戏。
医院教学是什么原因从预防孩子落后、维持学校的习惯到让孩子被占着，后者是老师所能做的十件事中的一件。很多老师的地位和影响是总结出来的，当父母称他们为“图书馆小姐”或只不过“助手”。孩子们倾向于依靠有关的学校朋友与学校工作维持联系。几位父母谈到学校对工作的需要不予理睬或拒绝。一旦回到学校，孩子们极少得到额外的教学，并被告知要尽快赶上。
很多短期住院的儿童病人非常快就赶上了。但学校对缓解被采访的很多孩子对落后的焦虑几乎没用途。
