篇50
In Auckland,the students from Deep Green Bush School are having a class.The weather is fine,so they will go fishing later.After that,they will eat lunch cooked on an open fire.They have no homework at the end of the day.
"We are called a school,but we look nothing like other schools out there,"says Joey Monearz,the headteacher of Deep Green Bush School."We don't do things like telling kids it is time to learn or practise math.When they are interested in doing it,they will do it."
Monearz was once a teacher of a mainstream school.After five years in the school of New Zealand,he left the school and founded Deep Green Bush School.In this school,there are only eight students.It has no classrooms or tests.
If the weather allows,the students spend most of their day outdoors,exploring(探索)the forest,learning to fish,catching possums(负鼠)and learning about the animals and plants around.They won't learn the traditional school skills,such as reading,writing and math until they begin to show an interest in them.
"We don't have problem children,"says Monearz."Our parents saw their kids were unhappy in mainstream education and they started questioning:is it right for kids to come home unhappily?"
