① A lot of people are asking me about my new school—Brown’s Free School. It’s really hard to say, so I give them an example of one day.
② It’s Wednesday morning and it’s time for the weekly school meeting. This week, we talk about “wheels (轮子)”. Kyle, one of the students in my class, advises a new rule that students can bring skateboards, skates and bicycles to school. Our teacher, Mr. Jackson, says that we can do this one day a week and the whole school votes (投票) on a “wheels” day for next Friday.
③ Here, at Brown’s Free School, we can make the decisions! We can choose to go to class, watch TV or play computer games, but most students choose to go to class—it is more interesting! When we don’t like a class in the classroom, we can just walk out!
④ At Brown’s Free School, there is no uniform or exam. We choose what we study and how to study. We can study in groups or on our own. If you are at school and you want to study how a car works, the teachers will help you find a way to study it. If you want to start a new school magazine, you can tell the teachers. Then, they will find a way to help you do it.
⑤ That is how Brown’s Free School works. The ideas come from the students, and everyone works together to make them happen. It is a great experience and I love going to Brown’s Free School!
