I love this approach to schooling.

I'm happy to see I'm not alone in my idea.

The youth in this segment articulate themselves very well on the value of choosing how you want to educate yourself.

The kids who thrive off of structure and discipline (I'm guessing Virgos and Libras) can give themselves that, but, it is not imposed on the kids who need to be running and vigorously stimulated (Fire signs like myself).

ah...I can't wait till this goes mainstream.

Finally, school you want to attend.

The main problem with this approach to education is that is isn't suitable for mass production. I like, understand & even slightly envy (wish I want here as a kid! this method, but I don't think it would be suitable or technically feasible on a national level, where you're teaching 50+ million kids each day. That aside, there are definitely some aspects of this teaching method that could & should be applied to general education at every level, from elementary school to college.

The philosophies of the school have probably been discussed frequently. But the students have to make up their mind about how it works for them.

Every system tries to tell you it is the best, and most of these kids have gone to regular schools and know how it's like. They know how the learned at previous schools and how they learn at this school, and they see a clear, positive difference...

... and how many times do you think the rationalizations of adults have been discussed with them on the subject of the school's superiority? Evidently this is the primary subject that the instructors willfully train them in! And there must be a lot of Jessica Simpson moments!
