My
Experience in a Free School
At
first I couldn't believe it! There were no 1 in rows; no bells
rang; no one had to go to
2 . Although we all lived "in", 3 made us go to bed at a certain
time; there was no "lights out".
The 4 thing was that practically, all
the students went to class,
5 very few people
stayed up late at night. Only the new people stayed up or 6 class. The new ones always went
wild 7 , but this never lasted long.
The 8 took some getting used to. Our
teachers treated us like
9 ; never did we have
to 10 "stand up", "sit
down", "speak out". I don't 11 one student who didn't try his
best.
The
subjects were the same as those in
12 school, but what a
difference in the approach (方式)! For example, in botany (植物学) we had 13 classes in the spring or fall, but
instead we 14 two gardens,a vegetable garden and
a flower garden. l5 in
winter we each studeied a few
16 things about what
we had grown. In math the students built three different kinds of storerooms ---small ones. 17
, but usable. They did this instead of having lessons in the classroom.
They really had a 18 time too, designing everything ,
drawing the blueprints, 19 the angles (角度) and so on.I didn't take 20 . I can't stand it! Besides, I
could do the basic things with numbers. That's 21 !
22 I think I am a 23 person for having gone to the
school. I can read and write as well as anyone else my age, and I can think
better. That's probably a real big
24 between the free
school and regular school---the amount of 25 .
