It is an interesting website, but still within the paradigm of getting an
education, rather than living life. I chuckled at the heading "Teaching
Students to Think Independently". I guess the unstated subtitle is:
"Unlearning the protocols of Schools". I think it might be hard work to
remove independent thinking from a child. Jayn is full of it. I started to
read the description of one of the schools and recalled our listmember's
recent visit to Sudbury. 27 "expectations" including "basic skills". The
list of ways to learn is more fascinating to me than some of the other
stuff, but I will be doing more reading there.

You brought the best part. <g>
As schools go, he's got a great model! It was a little scary to see the
ratings chart, and understandable as he has a PhD and people are charging people
money to help their kids learn in that way. And it's a good way. But anytime
money is involved there seems to need to be accountability for the funds and
time and so kids' successes are measured and rated.
I'd way rather go to a school like that than the one down the street, though.
