At this stage nearly all the teachers are women, Mostly married. (80) The atmosphere is usuallyvery friendly, and the teachers have now accepted the idea that the important thing is to make the children happy and interested. The old authoritarian (要绝对服从的) methods of education were discredited (不被认可) rather a long time ago - somuch so that many people now think that they have gone too far in the direction oftrying to make children happy and interested rather than gibing them actualinstruction.The social education of young children tries to make them accept the idea that human beings in a society need to work together for their common good. So the emphasisis on co-operation rather than competition throughout most of this process. Thismay seem curious, in view of the fact that American society is highly competitive; however, the need for making people sociable in this sense has come to be regardedas one of the functions of education. Most Americans do grow up with competitiveideas, and obviously quite a few as criminals, but it is not fair to say that theeducational system fails. Ti probably does succeed in making most people sociableand ready to help one another both in material ways and through kindness andfriendliness.11.
