They really didnt want to grow up without knowing what was around them. They already had it hard as it was in schools. They just knew it was one of the things they could of accomplished with what was going on in there moderate day. Compared to 50 years ago, children knew they had no choice.

They need parents along with motivation. Going to school now days many children feel rejected because they are scared to ask questions. They need someone who will sit down with tem everyday and talk to them about what they learned and what they remember but couldnt understand because they were scared to ask a question. These always leads to children getting more behind in school and then they are unfocused. Then thats their experience. They now want to dropout or find the easiest way out.

If children did not behave, they were punished, and the punishment got them back on track. 50 years on, there are many cheesy methods of teaching, such as "class discussions", and "interactive whiteboards". Sure, these are fancy methods of teaching, but are they the most effective for the majority of children? Teachers appear to want their classes to be fun, and may compromise learning for fun. Education is about learning, not about fun. I believe that if the children of 50 years ago had today's education, with today's resources, the education system would work perfectly. Could you imagine, a class, where every student wants to learn and to their upmost best to achieve the best in life. Now in today's day in age you get bright and able students scraping a pass due to the lack of motivation. 50 years ago children were WANTING an education. 50 years on, I believe there are a high amount of children who DO NOT want to have an education.

I believe that if the children of 50 years ago had today’s education, with today’s resources, the education system would work perfectly. Could you imagine, a class, where every student wants to learn and to their upmost best to achieve the best in life. Now in today’s day in age you get bright and able students scraping a pass due to the lack of motivation.
