LANGUAGE IN USE 4 The school with no rules that teaches the unteachable Ian Mikardo High School, the famous “school without rules”, is a special school in London. Its students are boys aged 6 to 11 who are considered (0) (teach) by other schools. The boys have experienced a lot of trauma and (1) (happy) in their lives, and their behaviour can therefore be very challenging. However, at Ian Mikardo, the teachers refuse to give up on them. The building of Ian Mikardo High School is (2) (colour) and inviting, and the atmosphere of the school is (3) (form). For example, the students call their teachers by their first names. This is (4) (like) many other schools for challenging students, where there are many rules, detentions and punishments. The principal of Ian Mikardo has a completely different approach to education. At her school, rules have therefore been (5) (place) by guiding principles such as empathy and respect. She points out that many rules that are common in other schools are (6) (use) for our modern times anyway.

This means that the boys who go there can be (9) (success) in their future careers although they have already faced many difficulties in their lives. And it is working: 97% of students continue their education or get good jobs when they leave the school. When you consider the challenges these young people have faced, it is (10) (possible) not to be inspired by their success, and Ian Mikardo High School has every right to be proud of its (11) (contribute) to these young people’s happiness. Wouldn’t it be great if there were more schools like this? 0 unteachable 6 1 7 2 8 3 9 4 10 5 11 Nur zu Prüfzwecken – Eigentum des Verlags öbv
