It's 2040, our schools are no longer teaching children an outdated curriculum taught with questionable methods. Our children love going to school and attend school without fear of what will happen. They don't ask questions like, will I be tested in front of the whole class today? Because they won't be tested in 2024. Homework will also no longer be a common occurrence. 8 hours at school should be enough for a child and there should be no need to spend several more hours on homework. In 2040, children will have a chance to be children and not worry about what grades they are getting because we will move to verbal assessment of pupils instead of the traditional grading system as it is more effective and has a positive response from pupils. Classes are also smaller now, which allows the teacher to focus on all their pupils and make sure that everyone really understands the topic being discussed. Children in 2040 are smarter and happier in school than we were for these reasons.
