Практическое образование

Would you like to go to a school which doesn’t teach traditional subjects like Maths and Science in the classroom? (Хотел бы ты ходить в школу, где традиционные предметы, такие как математика и естественные науки, преподают не в классе?) What about a school where they don’t set any exams for its students? (А как насчёт школы, где ученикам не задают никаких экзаменов?) Sounds great, right? (Звучит здорово, правда?) Well, in fact, such schools exist. (На самом деле такие школы существуют.)

There are a number of schools across Europe and America that follow a non-traditional curriculum. (В Европе и Америке есть немало школ, где придерживаются нетрадиционной учебной программы.) Students study subjects like Maths and Science through practical projects like building boats or making sculptures. (Ученики изучают такие предметы, как математика и естественные науки, выполняя практические проекты — например, строя лодки или создавая скульптуры.) This means no revising for exams and learning boring facts by heart! (Это значит — никаких повторений перед экзаменами и заучивания скучных фактов наизусть!)

Some of these schools began because they wanted to help children that used to get into trouble in a regular school. (Некоторые из этих школ появились, потому что их создатели хотели помочь детям, которые часто попадали в неприятности в обычной школе.) They behaved badly, didn’t pay attention in class and struggled with learning in the classroom. (Они плохо себя вели, невнимательно слушали на уроках и испытывали трудности с обучением в классе.)

Other students in these schools have parents who do not agree with traditional methods of teaching and testing. (Родители других учеников этих школ не согласны с традиционными методами преподавания и тестирования.) Unfortunately, all these schools have something in common: they are expensive. (К сожалению, у всех этих школ есть общая черта: они дорогие.) Parents must pay high tuition fees for their children to attend. (Родители должны платить за обучение детей высокую плату.) So, unless you are the child of someone with plenty of money to spend, you’ll have to be satisfied with doing most of your learning in the classroom. (Поэтому, если только ты не ребёнок человека, у которого много денег, тебе придётся довольствоваться тем, что большую часть знаний ты будешь получать в классе.)
