My Childhood
Last night I had a dream about my childhood. I was born in a small vilage in China. And back that time, due to its poor economic situation, there was few entertainment facilities for children. But we never felt boring. To build a castle with mud or making a trap to catch birds, everything was interesting. At that age, we had nothing to worry about.
Children today have a lot of entertainment facilities, but they don't have much time to play though. Their parents expect their kids to be outstanding and go to a good college in the future. So they push their kids study hard. Is that necessary or appropriate? Kids need a happy childhood.

Their parents expect them to be outstanding and to go to a good college in the future. So they push their kids to study hard. Is that really necessary or appropriate?

yeah, I agree with you. Grades are important, and not only because grades effect kids to go to college but also grades represent kids' abilities of learning and thinking etc. The latter is more important obviously. So we should encourage our kids to sharp the abilities and make them like to study new things. If we push them work hard, they may get good grades too, but in the end, passing exam may be the only thing they are good at.

I think that it is good for children to have fun until they get into middle school. Then they should focus on getting good grades. Then in high school it is very important to have good grades. I live in America where it is less competitive in school, but I still think it is good to have good grades. They bring better opportunities in college, and in the work force. But while in high school kids should have fun on weekends and breaks. I don’t know if that makes sense.
