                                 Education in Alaska

    There is much …. debate among teachers of different nations on how to improve
education in …. natural conditions. The Organization of some …. programmes might
be a solution to the problem. This is what American teachers say about school …. in
Alaska. Just think of Alaska! The terrible winter cold of-50C, soft white snow every-
where around, the bright blue sky above, and small wooden houses at a distance of
eighty, one hundred, two hundred and more kilometers from one another.
    Few ….grow in Alaska. Young children of Eskimos, Indians, and white Ameri-
cans traditionally help the …. hunt and fish, because the family's wealth still …on
these. Public life does not …. much social activity in this severe region. However, lo-
cal school education ….of elementary school and ….school, just like in any other
American town or village. Also, …. school for children of 6-12 years old often in-
cludes pre - school activity for little children of four and five. It may be a shock for
an outsider to see the adults …. in the sledges, primitively run by dogs, in contrast to
their five year - old son watching an __ video film and their seven year - old daughter
studying the ….. of Roman civilization on the computer. According to the govern-
ment programmes once every two weeks a teacher arrives in a plane to every Alaskan
child to check his academic progress, and to give him new tasks, and new computer
programmes.
    The children living in Alaska today….. faster than children of other regions and
easily pass difficult exams to the most prestigious universities and colleges of the
U.S. and Canada. Yes, life in Alaska …. severe, but it makes the children active and
strong. Modern school and higher education help them become the most original and
unique in their scientific, engineering, and business ideas.
    So, why not go to Alaska if you want to be ….of your children?
