Question 1
It seems as if the mother is pushing her son to school but he doesn't want to go. His face looks sour and upset. Her expression is excited and anxious. You can tell that he isn't enjoying school and that he knows he has to go. Rockwell is trying to show that students the general attitude of students is that they dislike school. He has the mom encouraging the son in the background because maybe that's what her parents did for her. She probably remembers how much she ldreaded school. It seems as if Rockwell knows that students don't like school but we need someone there to push us through it. The way education is portrayed in this picture is that it isn't enjoyable but it is a neccessity.

I think we have all been in the same situation, thats for sure. But our parents are there to guide us through, and we learn to appreciate the importance of our time in school. Our parents are the force that drives us to be successful or unsuccessful in recieving an education.
Growing up I acted as if I hated school, but I loved it. I loved seeing everyone everyday!
I think all parents should be encouraging their children to go to school because it helps the children realize how important it is. I can not imagine how hard school would be for me or where i would be right now if my parents had not encouraged me to attend school and do well.
