    We send our children to school to prepare them for the time   17  they will be big and will have to work for   18  .Nearly everything they study at school has some practical use in their life.But is that   19  only reason why they go to school?
    There is more in education than just  20  (1earn)facts.We go to school to learn how to learn,so that when we have left school we can continue to learn.A man  21   really knows how to learn will always be successful,because when he has to do something new, he will not only be able to do it well himself, he will also be able to teach others  22   to do it in the best way.The  23   (educate)person,on the other hand,is either unable to do something new,or just  24  (do) it badly.The purpose of schools,therefore,is not to teach languages,arithmetic,history science,etc.,   25   to teach pupils the way to 1eam.
