Question

19．Charter schools operate with public money but without many of the rules that govern traditional public schools．In the United States the rules for charter schools differ from state to state．But in general these schools have greater freedom to decide what to teach and how to teach it．
         A charter school might be independent or connected to the local public school system．It might be started by teachers，parents or，in some cases，a profit-making business．It sets up the goals of the school and other details like how student performance will be measured．And now a group of charter schools have formed the Green Charter Schools Network （GCSN）．The idea is to have environmentally friendly school buildings but also to go further than that．
         The schools teach students to be concerned with community issues （社区事务） that affect them and the environment．For example，young children grow crops in a school garden and learn about healthy eating．Older students help recycle waste from the cafeteria．And local schools share what they grow in community gardens with people in need．
         Jim McGrath is president of the GCSN．He says there are about two hundred"green"charter schools across the United States．The plan is to also include traditional public schools as well as private schools．"The most important thing is that every one of us-every child，every adult-has a responsibility that our action，every action we make has an effect on the earth that we live in．And that our natural resources are never unlimited．And that if we want a positive earth for future generations，we all need to make commitments to be change agents so that we don't destroy our natural resources，"said Jim McGrath．              
         The GCSN holds its first national conference this October in Minnesota．Supporters of green schools say their goal is to expand the movement across the country．
