Firstly，there are no lessons.All the children，aged between 4 and 19，do whatever they want. There are no teachers，only“staff members”．The idea behind this is that you do not need to make children learn，because children want to learn anyway.“You do not need to say to the three year olds，‘Go explore your environment.’You can't stop them！”says Daniel Greenberg，a founder of the school.“But if you make children do what you want all day，they will lose all tastes for learning.” At Sudbury Valley School, you will permit children to talk，read，paint，cook，work on computers，study French，play the piano，climb trees，or just run around.Two boys spent three years just fishing!

When the school first opened in 1968，people said it would never work.But today，the school has 200 students，and 80% of its students go on to college. Even the two boys who went fishing all the time have successful careers today.One of them is a musician and the other is a computer scientist. 1．What is the main topic of the article A．An unusual school.

B．They are very naughty. C．They want to be outside all the time. D．They are too young to learn anything. 4．What happens to the children after they leave this school A．They do the same things as children from other schools.
