The Chinese character that is here translated as "learn" could just as well have been translated "study". To the native English speaker the sentences "It is not right if a child does not learn" and "It is not right if a child does not study" seem to have very different meanings, both of which are subsumed in the original Chinese. In the translations that follow, I ususally have chosen to write "learn" rather than "study".
