现在越来越多的农村孩子失学了。一个原因是因为他们的父母没有很多的钱供他们上学，他们不得不在家里赚钱养家。太可怜了。另外叶个原因就是很多家长都认为读书对女孩子没用，所以不让她们读书。另一方面一些孩子对功课不感兴趣，不愿上学。

我认为所有的孩子(包括女孩)都有权利接受教育。我们有义务在他们困难时伸出手来帮助他们。人们应当重视孩子的教育问题，因为他们对国家的未来将起到非常重要的作用。

现在在农村越来越多的孩子失学了。造成这种情况的'原因很多。首先许多父母太穷了，无法送他们的孩子上学，孩子们不得不在家赚钱养家。另外一个原因是很多家长都认为读书对女孩子无用，所以不让她们读书。最后一个原因是有些孩子对功课不感兴趣，不愿上学。

我认为孩子是国家的未来，所有的孩子(包括女孩)都应有机会接受教育。知识能改变人的命运。我希望人们应更重视孩子上学问题的解决，因为他们对国家的未来将起到非常重要的作用。
