"...the students learn at their own pace in a supportive environment. The school is run democratically, with the students having as much say in how the school is run as the staff. Decisions are made by voting in a weekly school meeting, where matters ranging from what colour the new carpets should be, to the employment of new staff. The school offers a full range of subjects, and attendance to lessons is negotiated, not compulsory. The school also educates students on a larger range than most schools, and gives students choice in what they can learn. Their interests form a large part of what is offered in the curriculum..."
That is a description to Sands School, an independent school which provides alternative education to kids aging 11-18. It sounds ideal to me and I would very much like my future children to go to that kind of school.
Pity there is only one in the UK at the moment. Not sure if there is any similar ones in other countries.
It's time to have a revolution for traditional education for kids, I reckon.
