Answer:
In hard times, charles dickens criticizes the educational system for promoting all of the following except imagination.
Explanation:
Issues such as poverty, a poor educational system, a corrupt legal system, the lack of aid to the orphanage of an arbitrary London with weak laws, which closed the eyes to child exploitation and bad working conditions, make Dickens's work a the most acidic in criticizing Victorian-era society, relying on its own reality. He believed that the educational system should encourage students to use their imagination, something that was not the case at the time.
Dickens took a whole society to reflection through stories of simple boys, lacking in the system, lacking in relationships. With his literature, he not only opened the way to social criticism - through his own traumas - as he rediscovered his lost childhood, creating from it many other childhoods with which he could express his fears, secrets, and boyish hopes.
