The first thing that sets School 21 apart from many schools is its modern glass building. But there's a lot more. In classrooms, students don't sit at desks, but at round tables or on the floor ina circle. Teachers rarely lecture. Instead, there are lively discussions. In addition, there's an art programme called Makerspace, for sculpting, pottery, other crafts, digital design and media This isn't a selective, private school, but a state primary and secondary schoo! in east London. It was established in 2012 by three educators who believed that standartised national exams meant schools were emphasising the acquisition of facts over critical thinking and creativity. They wanted their new school to do it all How is this being done? At School 21, it's through “slow education” and project-based learning. Siow ‘education means learning something in depth, and it is often interdisciplinary - combining two or more subjects. For instance, students studying Shakespeare might lear about daily life in his time or compare his character Richard Ill to the historical king. In project-based learning, students produce individual and group work to demonstrate their knowledge. ‘Again, this is often interdisciplinary ~ such as a music and science project about what sound looks ike. School 21 also emphasises oracy - the ability to speak Clearly and accurately. Material is taught in ways that require student participation through questions and answers and discussions. Students also present projects orally and give talks on issues they care about. Another feature of the school is work experience. Starting in Year 10, students work one afternoon ‘@ week in a company or an organisation doing ‘a real-world project. Recent examples include creating a children’s menu for a hotel chain, designing an app for the Department of Education and a social media campaign against youth violence. And because there's no escape from exams, GCSE (General Certificate of Secondary Education) studies begin in Year 10. So far, students have achieved excellent marks. Ofsted, which assesses schools, has rated School 21 very positively. Inspectors said that its “innovative and creative way of organising subjects promotes ‘outstanding learning”. They noted students’ excellent attitudes to learning, impeccable manners and respect for everyone, their maturity and confidence in ‘speaking, and their remarkable work ‘demonstrating “knowledge and skils at levels beyond those expected for their age group”. That's high praise indeed. Perhaps it will encourage other schools to follow School 21's model.AS tey Rte eed AN INFORMAL E-MAIL 1 Choose two adverbs that can be added to each Sentence.

The idea of implanting microchips in our body always seemed cool to me. But now that it's becoming a realty, 'm not so sure. | recently read that more than 4,000 people in Sweden are 's “chipped”, primarily for ID and digital access to buildings. But ths is just the start. No matter how tempting itis, | don’t think the UK should jin in this trend before having a serious public debate about it. This is especially important for 1o us young people, because we'l be the first «generation to widely get chipped. So in this post, I'd ike to share the issues that have been on my mind. ‘These minute-sized electronic devices are 18 injected by needle, usually near the thumb. They Use radio frequency identification technology ~ the same as in credit cards and airline luggage tags, and in the chips required for pet dogs and cats. There's a good chance that they’ 29 eventually replace credit cards, ink to our medical and bank records and monitor our location. As a society, we must decide who will own the data, ‘who can access it and how much control individuals will have over it. We stil haven't really 25 resolved these issues regarding social media sites, Will we do better when it comes to microchips? In addition, we need to know how easy they are to hack and whether they can be infected with viruses. 30 More importantly, doctors stil don’t know about all the potential health risks. Can the chips cause an allergic reaction or nerve damage, as some ‘opponents claim? Also, because they contain metal, the chips may interfere with some medical 438 diagnostic tools such as MRI machines. Another thing to take into account is the need to upgrade ‘as more sophisticated chips come along, So far, removing them requires a small incision ~ and how often will people want to do that? 40 We already use technology capable of doing similar tasks to these chips, including e-wallets and location tracking on smartphones, remote ‘controls and keypads that open doors, and -smartcards for medical information. We also have 48 technologies to confirm identity, including digital fingerprints, facial recognition and eye scans. So, is there really a reason to have a foreign object inside our bodies? | may get a microchip one day, bbut not before there are answers 0 regarding data control, health effects and security.
