The experience that my children are going through now in the primary school is so different from mine when I was at their age.

On the other hand，I feel the same when I write notes to school. 11 This is telling me there is a lack in munication from the school teachers nowadays as their life is so overwhelmed by the over-crowded schools we have in the US.However, choosing a career in education is not just for a good job. A teacher should really have heart in touching every childs life. 12 Even now，I still remember all my elementary school teachers names. 13 The answer lies in the fact that they spent every minute of their precious time helping me and answering all my questions with patience.

There are different ways of munication, according to different cultures.C. Why is that?D. Strong munication is very important to a childs education.E.I feel that schools nowadays dont municate with parents enough.F. My elementary school teachers all touched my life.G.
