Have you ever asked yourself why children go to school? You will (probable) say that they go to school to learn languages, arithmetic, history, science and some other knowledge. That is quite true, but
do they learn these things?
We send our children to school (prepare) them for the time when they will be big and will have to work for themselves. Nearly everything they study at school has some practical use in their life. But is that
only reason why they go to school?
There is more in education than just (learn) facts. We go to school to learn how to learn, so that when we have left school we can continue to learn. A man
really knows how to learn will always be successful, because when he has to do something new, he will not only be able to do it well himself, he will but also be able to teach
how to do it in the best way. The
(educate) person, on the other hand, is either unable to do something new, or just
it badly. The purpose of schools, therefore, is
(teach) languages, arithmetic, history science, etc., but to teach pupils the way to learn.

“Do you need those glasses for medical reasons?” the teacher asked. The new boy shook his head.” “Then I’d appreciate if you didn’t wear them in class. I like to look at your eyes when I’m speaking to you.” The new boy looked at the teacher
a few seconds and all the other students wondered what the boy would do. Then he took
off, gave a big smile and said “That is cool”.
