American Schools: Our role model, really?


Here follows an article published in Time Magazine back in September 2011. Your task is to complete the gaps in the text, and not to look at the key until the very end! You're also very welcome to think about the similarities between what was happening in the US two years ago, and what is happening right now -right this very week in fact-, in our country.

We're living sad times concerning our education system: Yesterday the most infamous law of education  in the history of this country was passed in Congress... Nevertheless, today I would like to thank all of you who are opposing this terrible reality one way or another, and encourage you all to continue expressing yourselves, and defending your freedom of speech, and of thought.

Onward and upward!
