Democratic Schools

This is just part one of the Voices From The New American Schoolhouse

Transcripts of the video are available for online viewing.

And here is yet another documentary called “Schooled” which looks interesting.

I love how people are using film making and the internet to raise awareness. It’s happening with childbirth and films like Rikki Lake’s documentary, and several other films about the dangers of over-medical birth practices. I’d like to see more independent films about vaccines, I planned to make one about Autism, but since we don’t have Autism in our house (that I know of) the research wasn’t as interesting as I thought it would be.

Anyhow- I wonder if any of my readers, John-Holt reading homeschoolers and unschoolers that you are… hopefully someone is….

Do you have a democratic home? I’m not sure I’d be able to do it. I’m too bossy and too lenient and too authoritarian all at the same time. Hopefully I impart enough rule-breakerisms and question-authorityness to provide the kids a fair enough balance. Listening to the kids in the video discuss their class meetings and stuff is really interesting. I thought I posted about another Sudbury school Docu-Drama recently but I can’t find it anywhere.

AND- my TJedbook came in the mail today finally. In case you were wondering.

Lotsa crazy crud going down at the Hannigan house. Don’t miss another post,
