(19)Some people say if kids didn‘t happen to go to school, they’d all be out in the streets. My reply is no. They wouldn‘t. First, even as schools stay just what they are, children would spend at least some time there because that’s where they would be likely to find their friends. Second, schools wouldn't stay the way they are. They’d get better. Because we would have to start making them what they ought to be right now. Last, (20)if we give children a little help, those who did not want to go to school, could find other things to do, since many children now do during their holidays. (21)There is something easier we could. We need to get kids out of the school buildings to give them a chance to learn about the outside world at first hand. In Philadelphia and Oregon, plans are being drawn up for public schools that won‘t have any school buildings at all. That will take the students out into the city and help them to use it and its people as a resource. In others words, students, perhaps in groups, perhaps independently, will go to libraries, museums, exhibitions, radios, and TV stations, meetings, businesses and laboratories to learn about their world and society at first hand. A small private school in Washington is all ready doing this. It makes sense, and we need more of it.
