硅谷实验性学校 Twelve-year-old Mishal Junaid stays at school longer than many full-time adults stay at work. So her thought on school may be surprising. 12岁的Mishal Junaid在学校待的时间，比许多全职的上班族工作的时间都要长。因此她对于学校的看法可能会让你大吃一惊哦。 When I wake up in the morning I want to wake up, unlike my last school where I want to sleep in and not go to school. 我每天早上睡醒之后都特别想起床，不像在之前那所学校就读的时候，每天就想睡懒觉，死活不想去上学。 This also surprises her parents. 而这着实也出乎了她父母的意料。 To the point that we worry why kids come home so happy — are they really learning things? 甚至都到了什么样的程度呢，那就是我们担心孩子们为什么每天回家的时候都那么开心——他们真能学到东西吗？ Junaid and her classmates ages 5 to 15 attend the experimental Khan Lab School.
