The kids hang out all day, play video games, go to class <a href="http://www.sudval.org/brochure/index.html">if they want to</a>, learn if they want to. There's no principal or teachers, just "staff". I may be an old-school stickler but this strikes me as retarded. They had an eight year old on who couldn't read because he "wasn't ready for it yet"... c'mon. tag:metafilter.com,2001:site.7333 Sun, 29 Apr 2001 19:51:59 -0800 alternativeschools democraticschools education pedagogy schooling schools sudbury sudburyvalleyschool owillis
