Is the education better than before?

Twenty or thirty years ago, the level of education in our country was better in some matters in Obligatory Education, for exemple, socials sciens education.
I was teacher in 70th and 80th of EGB, that now is 1st and 2nd ESO and there weren't as failure as in this moment.


The other day I heard an interesting opinion: "Now, the childs, have more difficulty to get an effective concentration to study."  May be it's true.

Nowadays / at present = actualmente

THE FRIENSHIP

It's the most richest and sincere relation in the life betwen two persons after love.
May be it isn't important the time for this kind of relation, becouse time can pass and those persons no meet them but if they are friends, it seem haven't passed the time.
Friend accept you as you are really, even when he realizes how you are and you think you are different, better that he thinks. He doesn't judge you.
You can argue with him but that don't break your friendship.
Friends are always frank with you, so you can trust with tem. You can share the best and the worse feelings you have, becouse they be loyal with you.

TRASLATION SONG'S SUBTITLES

Every day I live, I wnat it be one to give the best of me.
I'm unique, but I'm not alone.
The best day of me, it don't know yet,
It broke muy heart, flighted each succes
to taste sweet opposite the pain
However in spite all, this is  (rests)  here.

I want one moment in time
Where I be more than I thought I could be.
Where all my dreams be (were) on a simple beat
And the answers were to me.
Give me a moment in time where I running with the destiny
Then, in that moment in time I'll feel...
I'll feel eternity

I want all, there isn't time to lees
I had done the plans, now you let the opportunity
Here, in my hands
Give a moment in time, where I be more than I thought I could be

Where all my dreams are in a simple beat
And I have all answers...
