 Why do we go to school? We are taught that memorizing facts and figures will help us get a decent job so that we can feed ourselves. But when one is born with a silver spoon in his mouth, does he still have to go to school? That's a question that bothers some junior students in Beijing. Since their families have a number of apartments in Beijing, the rent is far more than enough to guarantee them a luxurious lifestyle. "The money enables me to live my life three times over. All I need to do is to learn how to receive the rent," some school kids claimed. This is certainly not the right type of thinking that young people, especially the budding kids, should hold. The parents have a social responsibility to cultivate children with the correct sense of values. If the children do not get educated and are not able to earn themselves a living, they shouldn't have any fantasy of getting even a cent from the property of their wealthy families.
