My Experience in a Free School

At first I couldn't believe it! There were no __26   in rows; no bells rang; no one had to go to __27  . Although we all lived “in”, __28   made us go to bed at a certain time; there was no “lights out”.

The __29  thing was that practically all the students went to class, __30   very few people stayed up late at night. Only the new people stayed up or _31  class. The new ones always went wild __32 , but this never lasted long. The __33  took some getting used to. Our teachers treated us like_34 ; never did we have to __35  “stand up”,“sit down”,“speak out”. I don't __36  one student who didn't try his best.

The subjects were the same as those in __37 school, but what a difference in the approach(方式)!

In math the students built three different kinds of storerooms small ones __42  ,but usable. They did this instead of having lessons in the classroom. They really had a __43  time too, designing everything, drawing the blueprints, __44   the angles(角度) and so on. I didn't take __45  .I can't stand it! Besides, I could do the basic things with numbers. That's __46 !

__47  I think I am a __48   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 __49   between the free school and regular school—the amount of __50.
