16.To most of us,school means classes,teachers,schedules,grades,and tests.But for the children at Sudbury Valley School in Massachusetts,school is very different.Firstly,there are no lessons.All the children,aged between 4and 19,do whatever they want.There are no teachers,only"staff members (职员)".The idea behind this is that you do not need to make children learn,because children want to learn anyway."You do not need to say to a three-year-old.‘Go explore your environment.'You can't stop them!"says Daniel Greenberg,a founder of the school."But if you make children do what you want all day,they will lose all taste for learning."
At Sudbury Valley School,you will allow children to talk,read,paint,cook,work on computers,study French,play the piano,climb trees,or just run around.Two boys spent three years just fishing!
The other way that Sudbury Valley School is different is that the children can decide the rules.Every week,there is a school meeting where both children and staff have one vote each-even the four-year-olds.They decide the school rules,how to spend the school budget(预算),and even which staff they want and do not want any more.
When the school first opened in 1968,people said it would never work.But today,the school has 200students,and 80% of its students go on to college.Even the two boys who went fishing all time have successful careers today.One of them is a musician and the other is a computer scientist.

分析 对于我们中的大多数,学校意味着班级、老师、时间表、成绩和测验.但是对于马萨诸塞瑟谷学校的孩子来说,学校是不同的.
首先,学校里没有课.所有在4到19岁的孩子,做他们想做的.这里没有老师,只有工作人员.这背后的想法是你不需要让学生学习,因为孩子们无论如何都想学习."你没有必要对一个三岁的孩子说‘去探索您的环境'.你不能阻止他们!"学校创始人丹尼尔•格林伯格说."但如果你让孩子整天做你想做的,他们将失去所有学习的体验."
在萨德伯里山谷学校,你会发现孩子们交流,阅读,画画,做饭,在电脑上工作,学习法语,弹钢琴,爬树,或者只是到处跑.两个男孩花了三年时间钓鱼!
相反,萨德伯里山谷学校不同的是,孩子们可以决定规则.每个星期,学校有一个会议,孩子们和员工各有一票,甚至4岁儿童.他们决定学校的规则,如何花费学校的钱,甚至要或不再要哪位员工.
1968年学校第一次对外开放时,人们说这个学校运作不起来.但是今天,这所学校有200名学生,80%的学生上大学.即使是两个一直去钓鱼的男孩今天也有了成功的职业.其中之一是一个音乐家,另一个是计算机科学家.
