The Children Are the Future of this World


To see the children play, laugh, and learn

to read a book, practice piano, or create something new.

They may one day build a better world

through the influence of imagination.

 

Reading, practicing, creating something new

brings knowledge to a child better than computer games

Imagination will influence future innovators,

such as the scientist with breakthrough discoveries.

 

Technology is pricey, but knowledge is priceless.

A child is so eager and ready to learn.

Science and exploration can bring such tremendous insight

Why hold a child back from learning?

 

Children are curious and love learning.

Let us change our teaching techniques.

Why hold a child back from learning the way they do best?

Let us teach through hands-on learning activities.

 

Because to see a child play, laugh, and learn,

may grow up to make this a better world.
