The Native American children like Tisquantum grew up in a world of warmth. However, in China’s rural areas, almost all of the children are left-behind ones and are lack of parental love and care of the society. Comparing the childhood of the children in rural China and the childhood of the children in Tisquantum’s village, I would rather grow up in Tisquantum’s village because of the following reasons.
Do we give children and students too many trophies? Many would say no, we have to work for what we want in life. Not to just receive it on a silver platter. Kids who are praised for their effort rather than their ability to strive harder, enjoy activities more, and deal with failure in a more resilient way. Trophies are for those who strive to do better in any type of activity, whether it is a sport, extra curriculum.

Therefore, I agree that trophies for just participation is unnecessary and sends a message to students that you don 't have to work for what you want.

The type and level of education a child receives is normally associated with class, region, race and ethnicity, religion and gender.

The United States is running education by giving the people a free choice of what they want to study. This is a liberating way that gives the people a voice, they have the opportunity to study something that interests them and later on change it if they happen to change their mind. The system gives their values a meaning, this is proving that the United States is a free country with free choices. It is the case that the system not only offers a wide variety of classes but also gives the people the basic knowledge they need to get through life, and the opportunity to make something greater out of themselves.
