Stage schools often act as agencies to supply children for stage and television work. More worthy of the name "stage school" are those few schools     1     children enjoy the time with a training for the theatre and a general education.   

A visit to such schools will leave you in no doubt that the children enjoy     2     (them). After all, what lively children wouldn't settle for spending only half the day doing ordinary school work,     3     acting, singing or dancing their way through the other half of the day?   

Then of course these are time for the children     4     (make) a name and make little money in some big shows. Some stage schools give their children too much     5     (profession) work at such a young age. But the law is very tight on the amount they can do. Those under 13     6     (limit) to 40 days in the year; those over 13 to 80 days.   

The schools admit that not all children will be successful in the profession for which they are being trained. So what happens     7     those who don't make it? While all the     8     (lead) schools say they place great     9     (important) on children getting good study results, the facts seem to suggest this     10     (be) not always the case.

3 . Many of us were delighted to learn that a high school senior Kwasi Enin was accepted to all eight Ivy League universities. To our surprise, he wasn't excited as expected, but appeared extra calm. He announced that he would revisit the universities to find the best suitable in music or medicine. He also wanted to compare their financial aid packages.

Kwasi's success story is rare, but his reaction is not. After the admission letters arrive at home, students have 30 days to really think about what kind of school would help them grow as a person, which school would best prepare them for the future, and at which school they would be happiest. And they also have to think about whether they can afford the school they choose.

But how to answer the questions about which school is the best suitable university? Some young people are attracted to large universities with great school spirit and a list of offerings. But besides those advantages, many of these universities focus on graduate work and research, with undergraduates taught mostly by part-time instructors. Others are attracted to smaller boarding schools with discussion-based classes. But some of these schools will have much limitation for students who want a high-energy city life experience.

Many students today seem to think they should pick the university where they will get the diploma that will help them get the most highly paid job. This is a sad misunderstanding of what a college education should provide. A good college education should prepare them to overcome any difficulty and thrive in society. It helps them to form the habit of creative mind and spirit that will continue to develop far beyond their university years. So when you choose college, you should consider if it is filled with useful learning to help create new spaces for different possibilities of growth.
