Well, I think it's extremely difficult to compare the importance of what students learn at school
with what they learn at home, because both are equally important, and most of the time, parents
and teachers actually complete each other's work on children's education. At home, parents are a
child's first teachers: they teach the kid right from wrong; they teach a child how to behave and
also how to think. Parents act as models, and influence the child psychologically and socially.
Teachers should do the same but they also need to teach more general skills and academic
knowledge.
3. How important are outdoor activities for children?
Outdoor activities are fundamental for a child's social and physical development. First, it's healthy
to spend time out. It's important to breathe some nice air, and to get some sun rays. It's a source of
vitality (= energy). In addition, if children play outside, they will run and exercise. It's highly
beneficial to their health. On top of this, hanging out outside is a great chance for kids to socialize
and make new friends.
4. How can children learn to cooperate with each other?
I think that children can learn to collaborate through team sports and activitie~. Most kids in
China enjoy playing basketball: they can realize that they need to help each other in order to win
the game. In addition, teachers can also organize some activities where students share the amount
of work to eventually put a presentation together for example. I think that it's important for parents
and teachers to encourage their children to talk, to help and cooperate with their classmates.
Adults should act as role models.
