Education is not only the teaching and learning of knowledge, but also the developing of person's character. Now liberal education(开明教育)has a great effect on the world. Much work has been done to find better ways of teaching. Students are encouraged to have their own thoughts and their own ideas when they have lessons. They are often held in the form of group discussions. They are properly guided to use the knowledge learned .In liberal education punishment no longer exists. Teachers and students are just like friends. The idea is of course a perfect one if it can really be carried out. However it only exists in the imagination and will never be realized. We must admit that children should at least be guided properly. Just close your eyes and think how many students there are in every hundred that will carry out the duties of a student if they are not pushed. What is the use of advice only if it is not supposed by a reasonable degree of control and punishment? It is hard for us to judge the success and failure of this kind of education now, but from the bad behaviour(行为)of the children who are actually the result of liberal education, we can see that something must be done to help these children.
