(T) or false (F). Write T or F on your answer sheet.
A school with no rules

between the ages of 5 and 17 go there.
2/4 MÃ ĐỀ: 01
 The idea behind Summerhill is that children should be confident enough to make decisions on
their own. The students must decide which subjects they’ll study but they don’t have to go to class if
they don’t want to. They can hang out in the art room or garden instead. They don’t have to do exams
either, but most students take some exams before they leave school.
Like students in most other schools, students at Summerhill do Maths, English, Science, etc.
What’s different is that they have to choose other kinds of activities and projects. Here, the students
– not the teachers – suggest the projects. Suggestions have included: afternoon walks, magic shows,
and gardening.
Teachers do not give marks at the end of the year and the school does not send reports to families.
If a parent wants a report on their child, first the child has to say that it’s OK for the teacher to write
one.
23. Summerhill is the oldest and best known ‘free’ school in the USA.
24. Summerhill students never do exams.
25. Students at Summerhill don’t have to study Maths, English or Science.
26. At Summerhill, the projects are suggested by the students.
27. The child has to agree before a teacher sends a report to their mother or father.
