Have you ever asked yourself why children go to school? You will    (probable) say that they go to learn languages, arithmetic, history, science and some other knowledge. That is quite true; but why do they learn these things?
We send our children to school to prepare them for the time     they will be big and will have to work for     . 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 also be able to teach others     to do it in the best way. The      (educate) person, on the other hand, is either unable to do something new, or just     (do) it badly. The purpose of schools, therefore, is not to teach languages, arithmetic, history, science, etc.,       to teach pupils the way to 1eam.
