When I was six years old, I became a student of my local school. I didn't like to learn there. We had to study songs about Lenin, the Math, had to sleep in there, and so on. It was disgusting. Our teacher was woman who made us keep quiet. I don't remember a lot, but I know that I didn't like the school all the time I was studying there.
Education changes a lot. Life changes much too. When I was young, there were only four TV channels. Now I have thirty seven ones. Our only entertainments were the hanging around in the yard with the dudes. Now kids play a lot of PC games, watch TV and sometime come to play in the yard.
My son is six years old now. He studies in the school in the first class now. It's absolutely different than we did. First of all, they have no any bad appraisals there. Only "good" and "very good". It's because bad appraisals may discourage children to learn. I think it's very cool especially for kids who don't study well for first time. There was good episode in Simpson's. Bart wanted to study, but his teacher suppressed him, told him that he was stupid. He found the exit from that situation and became a clown. Now the school system supports kids and doesn't show them that they are stupid, I hope.
The second difference is the books and exercise books they use. The exercise book are full of pictures and coloring. They are painting much more than learn to write. We had only one lesson of painting per week.
I think it will be absolutely different people we are.
