　　What has the US-Iraqi War brought to the Iraqi children? During the US-Iraqi war, most Iraqi school were closed．A lot of children had to stay at home to face the dangers brought by wars．

　　The war seemed to have come to the end after Saddam had been caught by US soldiers．A group of people led (被领导的) by US are running a program to rebuild the schools that had broken down during the war．They say that, if the work could go smoothly (顺利进行), more than a thousand schools’ construction (建设) could be finished as the new school year starts．

　　Textbooks have been changed too．More than seventy million new books have been printed．The children will not find anything about Saddam Hussein as well as ideology (意识)．So it is believed that the Iraqi children will come to forget Saddam, and their minds will be washed by studying these books．The Iraqi children will no longer have to start the school day singing Saddam’s song of praise (赞歌)．

　　Many children, however, may not go to school at all．Some parents say that they are still so worried about the security situation (安全形势) that they’d rather keep their children at home until the country becomes more safe．

　　Hu Jia is a 2nd grader at Shanghai Fudan Junior Middle School．She had her Chinese class two weeks ago．But she is still excited talking about it．

"It's time to talk about poems．But our teacher asked us to go on to the class blog(博客), a website for our class．" Hu said．

　　Her teacher, Zhang Dianchun , put some nice poems on the blog．The class talked freely about each poem．

　　Hu is a shy girl and she doesn't often put her hand up in class．But this time it's different．"I typed in what I thought about the poems．The teacher typed back and said I was doing well．"

　　Fudan Junior started to have blogs for teachers and students early this year．

A blog is like a diary on a website．It has messages about lots of different things kept by date．Using a blog at school makes teacher-student talk easily, clearly and fast．

"On our school's blog , everyone must use their real name．That's how it is different from other online talks．" said Zhang Xuan , a teacher at the school．

It is a great way to learn on blog．

　　Each class has its own blog．They have lessons on the blog．After school, students can still talk to each other or to their teachers about problems in study or life．Zhang said every day there are about 200 students talking on their class blog．

"It's cool．You can tell teachers something you might never dare to say face to face．" said Hu．

　　Teachers and students are friends on the blog．They talk openly．Once Zhang even told his students about a mistake he had made．

　　"Our class teacher is not mysterious(神秘的)any more．We are close．" said Xu Jie , one of Zhang's students．

　　Zhou Peifei said the blog helped her study better．"Once at night I put a question on our class blog , and I quickly got the answer from a classmate．"
