參考答案【正確答案：D】
A. 導(dǎo)致學(xué)生對成績報(bào)告單漠不關(guān)心；B. 削弱州舉行的考試的權(quán)威性；C. 限制了教師在教育中的權(quán)利；D. 不鼓勵(lì)學(xué)生完成家庭作業(yè)
文章第三段第二句指出，“But with homework counting for no more than 10% of their grades, students can easily skip half their homework and see very little difference on their report cards. （如果家庭作業(yè)僅占分值的10%,學(xué)生很容易少做一半的家庭作業(yè)，在他們的成績單上也不會有什么差別。）”既然成績單上不會有區(qū)別，學(xué)生就會選擇少做或不做家庭作業(yè)，故答案為為D。
