    Children are our world's future. The education of our children will be the most important issue for humankind forever. Because our human is a kind of creature who can not survive without society, teaching our children t to be socialized and to bring about a better society in future is obviously the most important of the whole educational work. In my point of view, the first sentence of the statement is true, and the second sentence of it does not tell us a truth.
    To begin with, I will talk about the first sentence of the statement in my second paragraph. As has been discussed in my first paragraph, the characteristic of sociality is the most important trait of humankind. An individual of single person can not survive all by himself or by a family. At the ancient time, people lived and worked together to do hunting, fishing, farming in a tribe and, also, battled with other tribes. As time goes, those small tribes went into larger ones gradually and at last became a largest single tribe called country. After the improvement of approaches and tools for producing, people could bring enough food and other essential things to themselves. Then, other issues began to be in present. For example, religion, academy, politics and entertainment. There is no doubt that all our children were required to be socialized to be one part of the society and survive. The child who can not be socialized can not survive in human society at all. For instance, a child who has been raised by wolves can not return to join us. The destiny of learning how to be socialized of our children did not change until now. And of course, as our socity will not separate in the future, how children are socialized will inevitably influence the destiny of society. Let us imagine a society in which persons are living all by themselves. Despite thinking about how they can get their essential life issues, this discrete society can not deal with some tremendous events, like natural disasters and invasion by other countries. Given the discussion above, the statement rightly discussed the social characteristic of humankind.
    In the second sentence, the statement criticizes that we have not yet learned how to teach our children to bring about a better society in the future. I think this sentence is too absolute. There is no doubt that educational work still has many weakpoints today, but there is do something superior in it to teach our children to be benevolent to the world. The spirit of our education is to make our children understand what is love and to teach them to love themselve, to love others and to love the world. Some children grow in a hateful environment with all the hatred, loneliness and pain in it. But with the function of our education and the help of others, these children can be taught to keep what they have and to share happiness with others. Nobody want to be in evil forever. The nature of humankind is to find joy and happiness. So, with all of these advantages of all education, my excellent individuals with kind hearts have been raised by educators.
    What the unfortunate thing is some negative examples of bad education still  can be made in almost everywhere of the world. It is not good to mention the massacre in Vriginia Tech in the U.S. all long ago. In that tragedy, many students were killed only by one ill-minded man who is also a student. The murderer obviously did not learn how to love others in his childhood, which shows that something still should be done to improve our educational work, especailly in psychological fields.
    Given the discussion above, the statement is right in the first sentence and wrong in the second.
