No longer imprisoned by prescribed ideas That was the way school used to be. The walls we have since overcome weren’t of brick and mortar, but of outworn tradition and archaic myths--that the only books to read were hard-cover textbooks, that all learning took place in the school. Our classes are not prescribed like medicine, to be taken daily in spite of the bitter taste. We choose the subjects we want to follow without help from a com- puter. Working among classmates, we are allowed more frequently to pursue our own ideas instead of adopting the opinions of others. With open noon hour for some, complete open campus for others, we are not locked behind iron doors for several hours a day. A majority of students ` are able to attend part-time jobs and extra-curricular activities during and after school hours. By law we are adults at age 18, no longer bound to underage re- strictions. Using our freedom, we can watch reality at a closer angle. We do our learning “on-location” in business offices, department stores, in grade school classrooms, and in the hospital, as well as in AHS. When we are through, we can look around, better prepared to cope with the world and its complexities. Student life reflects expanding freedoms.
