参考答案【正确答案：D】
A. 导致学生对成绩报告单漠不关心；B. 削弱州举行的考试的权威性；C. 限制了教师在教育中的权利；D. 不鼓励学生完成家庭作业
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. （如果家庭作业仅占分值的10%,学生很容易少做一半的家庭作业，在他们的成绩单上也不会有什么差别。）”既然成绩单上不会有区别，学生就会选择少做或不做家庭作业，故答案为为D。
