I got lots of interesting experiences in a free school. At first I couldn’t believe it. There were no 1lin rows or loud-sounding bells, nor did anyone have to go to2. Although we lived “in”,3made us go to bed at a certain time; there was no “ lights out”.
The4thing was that practically all the students went to class, and very few people stayed up late at night. Only the new people stayed up or5class. The new ones always went wild6, but his wildness never lasted long. The freedom took some getting used to. Our teachers treated us like7; never did we have to8“ stand up”, “ sit down”, “ speak out”. I don’t9one student who didn’t try his best.
The subjects were the same as those in the10 school, but what a difference in the method! For example, in botany (植物学) we had 11 classes in the spring or fall, but instead we planted two gardens, a vegetable garden and a flower garden. Then in winter we each studied a few12things about what we had grown. In math the students built three different sizes of storerooms---small ones13, but usable. They did this instead of having lessons in the classroom. They really had a14time, too, designing everything, drawing the blueprints(蓝图;设计图), figuring out the angles and so on. I didn’t take 15 . But I could do the basic things with numbers. That’s16.
17 I think I am a18person for having gone to the school. I can read and write as well as anyone else of my age, and I think better. That’s probably a real big19between the free school and the regular school--- the amount of20.1.
