Someday in the future we may not need to have money in our pockets. Is life easier when people don’t need to carry any currency at all? Is money heavy to carry? Is it safe to carry money? Maybe in the future each of us will have only one small plastic credit card. We will use it to buy all the things we now buy with money. We will not need money to pay for things.
Of course we may still have some of the same problems with cards we now have with money. Sometimes we lose money. Maybe we will lose the cards. Maybe someone will take the card. Someone may even make a card that looks like our card. Since we can’t buy anything without our cards, the credit card may be no better than currency.
Is there something easier to use than credit card? Each of us has a thumbprint(拇指纹). No two thumbprints are the same. Maybe someday the government will keep people’s thumbprints with a number. When you want to buy something you will put your thumb on a machine or a computer. Each store or business will have one. Everyone’s thumbprint will be in the computers. It will be very difficult to lose our thumbprints! It will be difficult for someone to steal it or to make one like it.

Let children learn to judge（判断） their own work． A child doesn't learn to talk by being corrected all the time． If he is corrected too much， he will stop talking． He notices a thousand times a day the differences between the language he uses and the language others use． Little by little， he makes the necessary changes to make his language like other people's．
In the same way， children learn to do all the other things without being taught﹣to walk， run， climb or ride a bicycle． They compare their performances with those of more skilled people， and slowly make the changes． But in school we never give a child a chance to find out his mistakes and correct them himself． We do it all for him． We thought that he would never notice a mistake unless it was pointed out to him， or correct it unless he was made to． Soon he becomes dependent on the teacher． Let him work out with the help of other children if he wants it．
If it is a matter in math or science， give him the answer book． Let him correct his own papers．Why should we teachers waste time on such daily work？ Our job should be to help the children when they tell us that he can't find the way to get the right answer． Let the children learn what all educated persons must learn， how to measure（估量） their own understanding， how to know what they know or do not know．
Let them get on with this job in their ways． School teachers can offer help if they ask for it． Some parents and teachers are worried that the children might fail to learn something that they will need to get in the world． Don't worry! If it is important， they will go out into the world and learn it．
