How does Charles Dickens treat the theme of education in his novel Hard Times?

When we look at education today, we see more than just reading, writing and solving numerous calculations, sometimes providing more than one answer for a question. Your opinions and views actually count for something and are appreciated. We have so many resources, culture and trips bought into education; that children can actually look forward to coming to school, each teacher having various ways of teaching, each pupil having a different way of comprehending and learning. …

…knowledge we have or should have, could be debated. I believe that Dickens feels that the education system in the eighteen hundreds didn't work as in his story all the characters who are taught in that way, Louisa and Tom have troubled life when they are grown up. I think that by showing how Sissy succeeds by still having the same education, proves that Dickens believes you can defeat the monotonous dictatorial type of education.
