I got lots of interesting experiences in a free school. At first I couldn’t believe it. There were no    41   in rows or loud-sounding bells, nor did anyone have to go to   42  . Although we lived “in”,    43  made us go to bed at a certain time; there was no “ lights out”.
The    44 thing was that practically all the students went to class, and very few people stayed up late at night. Only the new people stayed up or    45 class. The new ones always went wild    46  , but his wildness never lasted long. The freedom took some getting used to.

The subjects were the same as those in the ___50_____ school, but what a difference in the method!
