The way to educate children There is an old saying in China that do not let your child lose on the starting line, which means that you should educate your kid when he or she is very young in order to make sure that he or she can catch up with others. However, education is a kind of art. How to educate children of different abilities is a pretty hard problem. On the one hand, some people support that children which have different abilities should be educated equally, because everyone has his potential. For instance, if you do not have a chance to know about art, you will never know whether you have a gift for it or not. Even tough you may be good at something else, you will never have chance to find out your 'true love'. On the contrary, educating every child equally and teaching them all kinds of knowledge including science, art, PE, languages and so on may give them a chance to recognize themselves, so that they will be devoted into their favorite careers. As every coin has two sides, others have opposite opinion that intelligent children should be taught separately and give special courses, discuss both sides and give own opinion. Imagining if Michael Jackson's father prevents him from singing and makes him to learn math or physics, the result must be disastrous: the world will lose a great artist. As far as I am concerned, the way to educate children depends on the period of life they are in. When he is too young to distinguish the things he loves, we should encourage him to explore the world as much as possible. As a result, he can finally find out what is he loves and good at. However, when he is old enough to make the decision and be responsible for himself, we should help them chase their dreams bravely and educate he on the area he is gifted in.
