taught by an adult, use similar textbooks, homework, take exams, and so on The slices of reality that are to be learned, whether THEY are the alphabet or an understanding of the workings of government, have usually been limited by the boundaries of the subject being taught For example, high school students know that they are not likely to find out in Biên soạn: Đỗ Huyền Trang Nhóm ơn
