Have you ever noticed that when school kids are interviewed (I see this a lot on local news) the way they talk, it's like they only say what they figure they're supposed to say, what they're expected to say, and the way they're expected to say it.

Children are perfectly capable of determining what is expected of them with out being told what to think. The point here is they are also capable of examining the situation and deciding whether it's in their best interest to do what is expected of them. To many people in this world do what is expected of them because "it's what everyone else is doing". Children here develop a sense of self. I Graduated here and I am perfectly capable of understanding algebra.

We should.

I'm interested in starting one, and at the moment, I don't care where! I just want one to be around by the time I have kids.

If you live in Australia, especially NSW, get in contact with me, because I am very keen to get one of these schools going down here.

The only way to be successful is to break rules. A friend of mine talked her way into: a master's degree without taking the last year of classes, and numerous jobs at 1/2 time for full pay. She has the the attitude not (snobbishly) that rules don't apply to HER, but that rules are often nothing more than petty logistical problems. Meanwhile sheep-like people pay the price of not asking if they can opt out.

There are some interesting parallels here with a philosophy of education started by Maria Montessori. She was infact the first child psycologist and developed a method of teaching that if implemented in our country would revolutionise our system of gaining knowledge.
