Mr. Leonard, the principal of the Bedford Academy High School in Bedford-Stuyvesant, Brooklyn, is a man of many solutions, many of them creative, many of them, apparently, also effective. In New York City, only about 50 percent of students manage to graduate in four years. At Bedford Academy, 63 percent of the students qualify for free lunch, a majority of which are being raised by a single mother and another significant number are being raised by someone other than a parent. Yet close to 95 percent of students graduate, and actually, every one of those goes on to college.
Mr. Leonard does not achieve those results by admitting only high-testing students into his school. Of the students arriving with lower test scores, Mr. Leonard says that he is not looking for the students with the highest grades, or even the best behavior. He’s looking for the ones who understand his basic mission of discipline and respect, and are willing to devote themselves to his regular training course.
The Bedford Academy High School is famous for its autonomy. For Mr. Leonard, autonomy means insisting that all entering students spend their Saturday mornings in preparatory classes tile summer before they enroll. Autonomy also means an automatic weeklong suspension for any student who "disrespects a female," said Mr. Leonard. It means requiring struggling students, in the weeks before the Regents exams, to attend studying sessions on Saturday from 9 a. m. until 9 p. m. It means the most senior, experienced teachers, including Mr. Leonard, teach not the school’s academic jewels, but the most struggling students.
And autonomy also means the school’s teachers administer almost no homework. Instead they emphasize after-school tutoring where the teachers can keep a better eye on whether the student is actually grasping the material.
The school insists that students should ______.
选项
A、leave the school if they fail to respect a woman
B、attend the preparatory classes in the summer before enrolling
C、do their homework to review what they have learned
