To most of us, school means classes, teachers, schedule, grades and tests. But for the children at Sudbury Valley School in Massachusetts, school is very 1 .

Firstly, there are no 2 . All the children, aged between 4 and 19, do whatever they want. There are no teachers, only ＂staff members(管理人員) ＂. 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 three-year-old kids, go to 3 the secrets of nature. You can’t stop them!＂ says Daniel Greenberg, a founder(創(chuàng)始人) of the school. ＂But if you make children do what you want all day, they will lose all 4 for learning. ＂

At Sudbury Valley School, you will find children talking, reading, painting, playing the piano, climbing trees, 5 just running around. Two boys spent three years just fishing!

The other way that Sudbury Valley School is different is that the children can 6 the rules. Every week, there is a school 7 where both children and staff have one vote each — even the four-year-olds. They decide the school rules, 8 to spend the school budget(預(yù)算), and even which staff they want and do not want any more.

When the school first opened in 1968, people said it would 9 work. But today, the school has 200 students, and 80% of its students 10 to college. Even the two boys who went fishing all the time have become successful today. One of them is a musician and the other is a computer scientist.
