Education If only there were no homework! This may be the dream of numerous Chinese pupils. While their real life is disappointingly the opposite, in which piles of books need to be read and tons of homework need to be done. While in New Zealand, this dream can be real. I visited a primary school in New Zealand by chance. To my astonishment, low-grade pupils in New Zealand have neither homework nor unified textbooks editted by the Ministry of Education. Kids in primary schools usually love stories, so the teachers take these story books as textbooks. Sometimes, the teachers would also assign a few tasks as homework, but those are all concerning hand-crafts, such as using old newpapers to fold paper flowers, making a pen's can out of an abandonned drink bottle. Then the prettiest and most creative work will be selected out and the winner will be awarded. Some deem that children can not learn much knowledge from such education to cope with the harsh competition in the future. However, educational specialists in New Zealand think that Knowledge is easy to implement later, while a deprived childhood is not. Education like this can help build a more integral personality for children, enables them to command knowledge more voluntarily and to grow up with their talents from which the society can benefit.
