My high school was one of the best in the country. The average score for my class on the Scholastic Aptitude
Test was 615 out of 800 on the verbal part and 675 on the math part. This compares to only 419 and 473 nationally.
Last year, 51% of my class was National Merit Scholars. This is unheard of at any other school.
Take one of our classes for example, we sat on the floor or lay on couches while we worked, if we felt like it.
We could talk whenever we wanted to. We didn’t need permission to go to the bathroom or to leave the classroom
for any other reason. I’m not sure I ever saw my teacher give a lecture. He was always busy racing around the
classroom offering comments and answering questions. And we chose what we wanted to learn. If something
interesting turned up while we were doing a project, we could investigate it further. Considering all these qualities
of my American history classes, I’d say it was the progressive type, one that Darling-Hammond would admire. 【題組】
