D
Huckleberry Finn,the great character from the Mark Twain book,did not like school.He
preferred floating down the Mississippi River on a raft and looking for adventure.That’s why
generations of schoolboys have loved reading Huckleberry Finn:they feel the same way about[
school as he did.
For many boys,being forced to sit all day in a school room is like being punished for a crime they did not commit.There are endless hours of boredom spent learning things they have no interest in.That’s why many boys do poorly in school and many give up on education altogether.
Ironically(具有讽刺意味的是),the whole idea for schools was invented for boys.If a boy wanted to grow up to be a useful man,he had to be educated.By and by,people realized that educating girls was a good idea,too.And,ironically again,it was discovered that the school
system suits girls just fine;so fine that girls now do much better than boys in school.
No one really knows why that is.Some say that girls mature(发育成熟)quicker than boys and adapt better to school life.Some also say that the school system and the curriculum(课程) have changed to encourage girls but the needs of boys have been overlooked.
Educators are now trying to find ways to get boys to be more successful in school.There are
suggestions to separate the sexes and teach boys separately.There are also suggestions to change[
the curriculum to make it more interesting for boys.
Whatever the changes are,boys still will be boys,and dreams of floating down the Mississippi River will always be an attractive choice to just sitting in a classroom.
