Thought Exploratorium

This is a 10 minute clip from a documentary called Voices from the New American Schoolhouse about the Fairhaven School, a democratic school. I’m surprised more people haven’t heard of democratic schools. Sudbury Valley School is another one, perhaps one of the most popular. It was co-founded by Daniel Greenberg who said, “How can we expect our kids to participate in democracy when for 12 years they’re brought up in an autocratic society?” That’s a good question.
