The table displays data related to the different education related issues that children in two different primary schools have faced in the span of 10 years, i.e. 2005 and 2015.

While the most critical issues faced by children of School A were following instructions and concentration in lessons with 42% and 40% each in 2005, the improvement seen in 2015 was more than 50%, to be precise, the issue percentage dropped down to 18% for both the problematic areas. Even though, not much of a change was seen in common issues like reading ability and handwriting for both the years, almost 5% improvement was seen in spelling, 15% in listening and 14% in verbal expression of ideas.

In case of School B, the overall percentage of children with problems went higher in 2015 as compared to the year 2005. While the percentage of kids with problems in spelling and following of instructions increased by 100%, no betterment was seen in concentration of lessons and handwriting. Even though not much, but a hike of 1% was seen in reading ability, listening skills and verbal expression of ideas.

It's worth noting that on the one hand, School A has seen improvements in their children over a decade, on the other hand, School B went downhill with not much improvement.

A very common debate that has been taking the rounds for years is the age of retirement. Employees are expected to retire at the age of 60 or 65, depending on their country's law. Some citizens argue that there shouldn't be any age restriction and should be permitted to work for as long as the person wishes while others believe that it's good to retire after a certain age.

If I am asked, I would strongly believe that there should be an age for retirement and there are multiple reasons why I say so. Firstly, every human needs some time off from work and wishes to spend quality time with family, friends, grandkids, etc. However, this is not possible when you have responsibilities and dependants for survival. So after a certain age, it's the basic right of every human to think about themselves and wish to spend their hard earned money as and how they wish to, and that can only be possible once that individual retires.

Secondly, not every human being is blessed with a considerate and loving family, so, if the bread earner has not retirement restrictions, their dependants would never allow them to retire and stop a stable income. Therefore, the retirement law server as a boon for such individuals and they can then spend rest of their life peacefully and as per their will.

Some may argue that working keeps a person healthy and active, but I would ask, are there no other activities that can replace work and keep the brain and body active? The answer to this can surely not be negative. Post retirement, a person can get involved in plathora of activities like enrolling in sports, participating in brain quiz, gardening, farming, or just spending time running around with their grandkids. Also, it's often seen that a retired person gets into setting up their own business, willingly though, and the best example could be none other than KFC - Kentucky's Fried Chicken!
