http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sudbury_schoolI learned about this school in an educational theory course and I've always been fascinated by it. In a nutshell, it's a school where kids go to deschool, then unschool. It was presented to us as originally a school for "problem children" who would then flourish after their deschooling period.
It seems to me that something like this would be the perfect solution for a lot of gifted kids. They could direct their own learning, at the level they need to be at, but still be around other kids rather than being isolated.
I've thought about maybe trying to start such a school when my kids get a little older.
Anyone have thoughts?
