In New York, there is now a school with no daily lessons, no class teachers... ( 1 ) a school building! The ‘school’ is a new project. It is called ‘City-as-School’ and the name means just that: the city itself is the place where 350 students, between the ages of 15 and 18,learn their lessons.Students choose( 2 )of work which ( 3 ) them and then they help to do that work.. For instance, one girl spends her week in the offices of a Congresswoman—an elected official—helping the public ( 4 ) problems such as pensions, housing, etc. Then she goes to help in a theatre for a day and she spends one day a week ( 5 ) first-year courses at college.City-as-School is six years old. The education system in New York ( 6 ) it now, as an alternative to final years at school. But can it ( 7 ) ordinary lessons? Well, students have to pass maths and science exams( 8 ) they enter the ‘school’. These subjects are not easy to provide for in ‘City-as-School’. Teachers monitor the progress of the students. 80% to 85% of the students go to college ( or university, as it is called in Britain ) after their time at ‘City-as-School’. The ( 9 )rate is high. And the students are enthusiastic ( 10 ) their ‘school’.They like the responsibility of their work, and the ( 11 ) of purpose it gives them.In a big city like New York, there are enough resources for a ( 12 ) like this. But in Philadelphia, another large town in America, a similar school ( 13 ) because there wasn’t enough ( 14 ) of work for the students.When the students leave ‘City-as-School’, they don’t have a normal academic education;but they do know ( 15 ) about different kinds of work in the city.
