But for the children at Sudbury Valley School, Massachusetts, school is very different. Firstly, there are no lessons. All the children, aged between 4 and 19, do whatev
36、er they want to. There are no teachers only staff members. 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 to explore your environment. You cant stop them! says Daniel Greenberg, a founder of t
37、he 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 permit 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 fishin
38、g! 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 eacheven the four-year-olds. They decide the school rules, how to spend the school budget, and even which staff they w
39、ant and do not want any more. When the school first opened in 1968, people said it would never work. But today, the school has 200 students, and 80% of its students go on to college.
