Really appreciate it. It recalls the work of John Taylor Gatto. A bit over ten years ago the latter wrote an article on this sort of subject in Harper’s: http://harpers.org/archive/2003/09/against-school/

I just wish this kind of education would have been more widely available when I was younger. The opportunities kids have today with the growth of the Internet is awesome–customizable education as long as there’s wireless thanks to YouTube DIY’rs. 🙂

Hurrah for disciplined thought and thoughtful discipline (both characteristic of the self-directed way in education)! Thank you, US Represented for taking the time to explore this topic, and for your support in educating the public on a viable education option that may be the last hope for families with struggling students.
