 Two years ago,our 14-year-old son,Ben,asked us for a set of drums for his birthday. At first,we were very much against the idea because of the noise. "It's better than watching television or playing computer games in my free time," Ben argued, "and it'll keep me out of trouble. "In the end we gave in. "All right,"we said, "but you must consider the rest of the family and the neighbours when you play.” That was just the beginning. Because drums are not the easiest instru?ments to move,the other members of Ben's band started appearing at our home with their guitars and other electrical equipment (电子设备) .And so,for several times a week,the house shakes to the noise of their instruments and their teenage singing.

  At least Ben's hobby has been good for our health:whenever the band start practising,my husband and I go out for a long walk. And I must admit that,al?though their music may sound a little strange,they are a friendly and polite group of young men. I cannot judge their musical skill―after all I didn't expect my parents' generation ( —代人) to like the same music as I did when I was a teenager―but they do play in local clubs for young people at the same time each week.

  Our main worry is that they won't spend enough time on their schoolwork because of their musical activities,though this hasn't happened yet. I am al?ways stressing (强调) to Ben how important his studies are. But one thing is certain―Ben was right:it has kept him out of trouble and he is never bored.

  I took my 7-year-old daughter to a restaurant by tho heach for lunch. When we arrived,I saw Jojo,a rich man in the hotel business. We sat down to chat in an open-air cafe. Suddenly,our conversation was inter rupted (打断) by a stranger,who politely asked to speak to me alone.

  We stood a bit away from my table. Usually,peo?ple who asked to talk to me told me their opinions on the shows I hosted (主持) .But he was different. He said, "I'm James,the father of a 7-year-old girl who's very sick. Doctors have said that if she is treated in the UK,she will probably become better. I don't have much money. Can you please help me?"

  I looked into the man's eyes,which were filled with tears. Then I went to sit back at the table. Jojo asked, " What's wrong? Your face changed. " I told him why.

  In traditional (传统的) education,the teacher may feel that the students are not very grown-up. Usually,teachers are older than students,and teach?ers feel that students are young and do not know much about the world. The teachers feel that they must tell the students what to do most of the time,and that they must also make the students study specific (特殊的) things.

 In open education,the teachers' methods are very different. These teach?ers feel that the students are human beings (人) first,and students second. They expect the students to be responsible for the things that they do,just as adults are. A student's ideas and feelings are just as important as the teacher's. The teacher allows the students to decide what they want to do,and does not make them study what they do not want to. The teacher lets them decide what to study and how much to study. It's very important for the teacher to show how he or she feels about students.
