At this stage nearly all the teachers are women, mostly married. The atmosphere is usually very friendly, and the te

17、achers have now accepted the idea that the important thing is to make the children happy and interested. The old authoritarian (要绝对服从的) methods of education were not recognized quite a long time ago - so much so that many people now think that they have gone too far in the direction of trying to mak

18、e children happy and interested rather than giving them actual instruction. The social education of young children tries to make them accept the idea that human beings in a society need to work together for their common interests. So the focus is on co-operation rather than competition throughout mo

19、st of this process.

25、irst seen the children on the hill, Michael had been asking the same question, and had been given the same answer: “Wait till you are a little older.” Michael hid his face in my skirt, something he always did when he was going to cry and didnt want me to see. I felt like crying myself. Because of my

26、 health I simply didnt have the strength or energy to fly a kite with Michael, and Michael was too young to fly a kite all by himself.

As I put him into bed that evening, he said, “Mummy, may I pray to God to send me a yellow kite?” “Yes,” I said. “We will leave it up to him.” I was tired of the whole thing and hoped that maybe this would make Michae stop talking about it.

29、we never found the kites former owner. My depression left me, and as my health improved, so did my relationship with my husband.
