Another Educational Alternative

Posted in Mindless Meanderings

A  democratic school is the newest alternative to traditional school.   The press release reads: “Students follow their own inspiration, design their own curriculum; the staff helps them follow their own path.” Individual attention is stressed and because it is “learner-led,” all learning styles are honored. The theory is that since curiosity drives learning, learning comes much faster and, because staff members aren’t enforcing a curriculum, students are more receptive to it.  HHmmmm....sounds like they've been reading some homeschooling books to me!

Wow, that's a good idea, but they will only try it in small schools, few schools have less than 200 people, so many students are not learning. It is sad knowing the education system fails children, but it does.
