How do you like to go to school like this one in Oxford, England? There are no real classes. The students go from one group to another when they want to. You may find students of fourteen, sixteen or twenty - one years old all in the same group. They work at their own studies. Nobody tells them what they should do or what they shouldn’t do.
The day I visited, school began at nine. Some students were listening to their own lessons. Others were watching TV on physics. A group was working in the library. I didn’t see anybody just sit doing nothing. Everybody was studying.
At lunch time I could see students working, too. They were talking about their lessons while they were eating. When you think of those students, you can be sure it is one of the best schools in the world.
