BoingBoing posted a link to a video about the New American Schoolhouse, where students apparently decide everything, including staff. Anarchy! They call it “democratic” but they don’t really explain how the democracy is maintained without devolving into everyone playing video games all day. I suspect it’s not quite as utopian as the short video suggests. So is this how public schools should work? And if so, how could we possibly transition from the current education system to this? Discuss.
