Interesting and worth a quick look.

From Boing Boing , 'This YouTube video is the trailer for a documentary called "Voices from the New American Schoolhouse," which chronicles the radical education practiced at the Fairhaven School in Upper Marlboro, MD. Fairhaven appears to be a classical free-school, in which kids self-govern, design their own curriculum, and tutor their peers'.

I particularly like the part that suggests that the students play a role in deciding if a member of staff is allowed to stay on at the school or not. See the trailer here .
