While-reading: Discussion
Why do the author and the grown-ups have different ideas
Because they have different perspectives(视角） on the world. Children understand the world by senses（通过感知）, so they are more creative and imaginative; while the grown-ups are more knowledgeable and experienced, so they are limited and reasonable（理性的）.
While-reading:
Choose the author’s attitude towards grown-ups and find evidence to support your choice.
1 Grown-ups are more practical than children. They want to teach children knowledge that will be useful in the future.
2 Grown-ups are no better than children. They lack imagination and only care about matters of consequence.
3 Grown-ups are more knowledgeable than children. They can understand everything by themselves.
While-reading:
2 Grown-ups are no better than children. They lack imagination and only care about matters of consequence.
Evidence:
1. They always need to have things explained. (Para. 6)
2. Grown-ups never understand anything by themselves, and it is tiresome for children to be always and forever explaining things to them. (Para. 7)
3. …, I have had a great many encounters with a great many people who have been concerned with matters of consequence. (Para. 9)
