20、 there are no lessons. All the children, aged between 4 and 19, do whatever they want. There are no teachersonly staff members. The idea behind this is thatyou 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 explore your envir

21、onment. You cant stop them! says Daniel Greenberg, a founder of the school. But if you make children do what you want all day, they will lose all taste of learning.At Sudbury Valley School, you will permit children to talk, read, paint, cook, work on computers, study French, play the piano, climb tr

22、ees, just run around. Two boys spent three years just fishing!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,

23、how to spend theschool budget, and even which staff they want and do not want any more.When the school first opened in 1968, people said it would never work.

26、learn anything.Who has the most power in the school me etings?The older children have more power then the younger children.A child has more power than an adult.Everybody has equal power.The younger children have more power than the older children.DWhyshould I teach my children history? That sounds l

27、ike a stupid question to even ask. But, as I hear different homeschooling teachers discuss history, I get the idea that ther e may be different reasons for teaching history. Let mebriefly explain the three good reasons for studying history and two bad reasons for studying history.The major reason I

28、see for studying history is that we can learn from the past. I am convinced （確信的, 深信的）that the world would be a much better place if more peopleunderstood the successes and failures of the past and the things that made these successes and failures. However, as the unfortunately true statement goes t

29、he one thing we seem to learn from history is that we dont seem to learn from history. Perhaps at least in teaching history to my children I can do a small part in changing this.A second major reason for studying history is that it is hard to understand the current （現(xiàn)在的，最近的） political climate in the

30、 absence of an understanding of its historical context. We cannot even understand why we are and where we are without history, much less （更不必說）try to figure out where we are going or how we should get where we want to be.I teach my children history, for one more reason. I purchased a set of historic

31、al audio （錄音機）tapes for our children. My seven-year-old son listened to them over and over. It was my hope that he would become inspired by the accomplishments of people like the Wright brothers to accomplish （完成）things by himself. I think that it is good that we celebratethe accomplishments of peop

32、le like Martin Luther King Jr. if, in doing so, young people- - / 12- - / 12are called on to stand for the principles that he stood for and accomplish what he accomplished. I also think that by studying people like Adolph Hitler, people can learn to stand against the things that he stood for.What me

33、ssage can we get from the underlined sentence in Paragraph 2?Many people fail to make good use of history and make the same mistakes.Many people arent clever enough to learn well from the past.Many people feel it hard to understand history.Many people have no interest in studying history.In Paragrap
