But everyday, Jimmy has to do the homeworks 30 mininutes to 1 hour. But it is not easy to meet the requirement for attending the class. Jimmy must know well how to write the number from 0 to 9 for entrance examination.

Not only Jimmy but so many children in his Kindergarten class have to ruch to some education centers at weekend, even at night. They have to learn chess, English writing…dance, drawing, playing music…

Time for enjoy and fun is day by day reducing with them.

Society pressure doe not only push burden on adults, but the children also. In fact, some recent decades, developing countries have make great remarkable pace in economic development. However, the consequence of that pace is vulnerable with some humanbeing.

Not only the time, but the space for children is reducting also.
