All the children，aged between 4 and 19，do whatever they want. There are no teachersonly “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 a three year old，“Go explore your environment. You cant 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 taste 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!The other way that Sudbury Valley School is different is that the children can decide the rules. Every week，there is a school meeting where both children and staff have one vote eacheven the four year olds. They decide the school rules，how to spend the school budget，and even which staff they want and do not want any more.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 2musician and the other is a computer scientist.21What is the main topic of the article?AAn unusual school. BChildrens hobbies.CA school without rules.
