Wait til the kids come up with the idea that they can vote on where the money goes.

Tuition is $10,300 a year.

Why don’t they vote in free tuition?

Arlo Dolven, 24, attended school his entire life at Clearwater. Last spring, he graduated from Evergreen State College. After getting his driver’s license and earning a 4.0 GPA in college, he felt “pretty smart.” He still didn’t know the multiplication tables.

I guess we're supposed to smirk that these people are ignorant as dirt but have fabulous self-esteem but it just makes me sad. Our schools are churning out people completely unprepared in so many ways.

"Tuition is $10,300 a year."

While not outrageous by current rates, I would be willing to bet that is not something open for vote in this "democracy."

“Having a participatory democracy, where everybody has these long conversations, and you listen to all these different perspectives, in some ways, it feels tiring and inefficient,” she said. “But in other ways, I think it’s really efficient. Because eventually, everybody figures it out. So there’s more buy in.”


Democracy = Mob Rule!

A clear example of why "Democracy" or even any form of government, is not The Solution.

...we have no government armed with power capable of contending with human passions unbridled by morality and religion. Avarice, ambition, revenge, or gallantry, would break the strongest cords of our Constitution as a whale goes through a net. Our Constitution was made only for a moral and religious people. It is wholly inadequate to the government of any other. (From a letter Adams wrote on 11 October 1798 to the officers of the First Brigade, Third Division, of the Massachusetts Militia).ion of the Militia of Massachusetts,” October 11, 1798)
our ancestors established their system of government on morality and religious sentiment. Moral habits, they believed, cannot safely be trusted on any other foundation than religious principle, nor any government be secure which is not supported by moral habits.... Whatever makes men good Christians, makes them good citizens.” (Daniel Webster, “The life, eulogy, and great orations of Daniel Webster,” 1854, p. 49)

From their very own website:

The Clearwater School recognizes that the invention of policing was in service of white supremacy and continues to uphold white supremacy today, which is antithetical to our values of Freedom, Trust, and Responsibility. TCS is committed to divesting from police and policing (both literally, culturally, and interpersonally) and investing in trust based, community centered ways of harm reduction and repair.

The Anti-Racism Committee and School Meeting developed the list of commitments below in response to the protests against police brutality in June of 2020. The Anti-Racism Committee further developed this list in April 2021 to reflect how our commitments have evolved over time. These commitments are intended to inform our choices moving forward and to hold us accountable in acknowledging and transforming the ways that we are currently invested in forms of policing. We recognize that this is a starting point and that the specifics of how we meet our commitments will change and grow as our community learns more about the systemic racism we have institutionalized and the interpersonal and cultural racism we have internalized.

Although I'm no fan of today's militarized police ... I see this stuff above as complete drivel.

. A 1986 review in the American Journal of Education surveyed 69 graduates of the original Massachusetts school. Just over 50% of the participants had a college degree or were enrolled in secondary school. Half of the group said attending Sudbury was a hurdle to higher education. They also said the benefits outweigh the disadvantages.


What did they think were the benefits and disadvantages? Then we might know something.

evergreen isn’t a real college: it’s babysitting institution that babysits for four years wealthy college-aged children spawned by progressive Marxists ... everyone who pays for four years there gets a 4.0 GPA ...

If you can graduate from college, with a 4.0, when you don’t have basic scholastic skills, that’s a useless education.

I’m very much pro letting the child study what he wishes, as long as he ends the year with mastering his grades curriculum. If a child wants to spend 40 hours, one week, just studying physics, great. As long he also got the rest by year’s end.

He believes a one-size-fits-all model of a traditional school has unreliable results, when it’s “forcing everyone to try and learn stuff that they’re not interested in, and that they’ll forget really quickly,” he said.


That is a point to consider.

On reflection, it is not the methodology or organization of the school it is something else that makes it effective.

A King is a good type of government if you have the right king.
