1The school run by kids
Welcome to our school. At this school in Thailand, the kids are in charge. From taking assembly at the start of the day to checking uniforms. Many of the kids who come to the Mee Chai Pattana school are from poorer backgrounds. But this school has the environment at the heart of its mission.
欢迎来到我们的学校。在泰国的这所学校里，孩子们说了算。从一天开始的集合到检查校服。Mee Chai Pattana学校的许多孩子来自贫困家庭。但这所学校的使命是保护环境。
The students pay for their education by planting 800 trees a year. They're also responsible for doing 400 hours of community service each year. Smichai Pattana School is also known as the Bamboo School because many of the school buildings are constructed from bamboo, a fast-growing plant that is common in Thailand. We don't have a janitor in our schools, so the work has to be done by the students.
学生们通过每年植树 800 棵来支付学费。此外，他们还负责每年400小时的社区服务。Smichai Pattana 学校也被称为竹子学校，因为许多学校建筑是用竹子建造的，竹子是一种在泰国很常见的快速生长的植物。我们学校没有清洁工，所以工作必须由学生来做。
The idea behind the school is to inspire a future generation of leaders. I really love it here because it's a lot of difference to other schools. It's a boarding school and it teaches me a lot of experience that I never learned before. And I meet new friends, they are all good to me.
学校的理念是激励未来一代的领导者。我非常喜欢这里，因为它与其他学校有很大不同。这是一所寄宿学校，它让我学到了很多以前从未学到过的经验。我还认识了新朋友，他们对我都很好。
So this is English classroom. While teachers are still responsible for leading the lessons, the students choose who teaches them. And decisions about rules and discipline are down to the student council. Even the school dinners are organised by the pupils, while older students serve the meals and everyone is in charge of their own washing up. Any dirt left on your plate and you're sent back to wash it again. I think I'd fit right in. My washing up skills are impeccable.
这就是英语课堂。虽然教师仍然负责授课，但由学生选择授课人。校规和纪律由学生会决定。就连学校的晚餐也是由学生组织的，高年级学生负责盛饭，每个人都负责自己的洗碗工作。如果盘子里有残留污渍，就会被送回去再洗一遍。我觉得我很适合到那里。我的洗碗技术无可挑剔。
