Children's education is changing very rapidly today. In the past, teachers made children sit still for hours, They
made students memorize all sorts of things. In other words, the children had to go on repeating the things until
they know them "by heart".
Today many teachers wonder if it is possible to make children learn at all. They say you can only help them learn.
They say you must let children learn and discover things by themselves.
But for some of the children, school is a kind of prison. They are there only because their parents make them go.
They get out of the classroom as soon as their teacher let them leave. Many of them want to find jobs but the law
will not let them work until they reach a certain age. And so, they have to stay in school. Often they do not learn
anything at all and hate every moment.
