Loved the editing on this one! I also love how directly you guys show what is going on, no convincing or strong angles, just hearing what the kids think :)
Thank you Harry! Our goal is always to let people come to their own conclusions about things, trying to make the films as "self-directed" of a viewing experience as possible.
In Poland it is truly rare to find a school with so many genuine smiles! We have compulsory curriculum, so all school are democratic in name only! Smashing a cardboard carton is not happening in Polish schools, and yet I loved such games as a kid
4:41 kicking bottles in the streets? wow! that's freedom! In Poland kids would be detained, parents informed, and the teacher who allowed this anarchy might be in trouble. Perhaps even the principal's job might be at stake! :) ... It's nice to be a kid out there! :)
Lmao the more I watch the video the more preposterous this school gets. When asked about it the kids seem like they're almost holding back a smile at how ridiculously lax the school is. Like they can barely believe their good fortune and they don't want the secret to get out. Obviously the kids are going to love it, they get to chill with their friends all day. University, trade school, or any job or career is going to be a rude awakening for them, having learned little to nothing, no work ethic and raised under the philosophy that their time is their own and they have the right to do whatever they want with it. Seems like a formula for success.
@@attikaifinch while you are absolutely correct that it's harder to decide your own educational path & be responsible for your own choices, you might be interested to know that while many democratic school students wait a year or two before entering college or a trade school, 90% attend some form of post-secondary schooling, and 80% of them get into their first choice. The reality is that all human kids are highly motivated to learn the tools of their culture, and the tools of our culture are media, technology, & education. Left to their own instincts they will find their way to what's important to them. At the school my kids go to, which is very similar, there are kids taking calculus & English & cooking classes, all at their own request. There are also kids who spend all day every day playing video games or making art. The point is - they learn how they learn best and when and if they decide to chase an ambition, they can do it very successfully. It's worth noting that these kids are very well aware of the pressures the world can throw at a person and they make choices about how much they do or don't want to engage. Plenty of democratic school grads have gone to ivy league schools & even won academy awards. Their choices will lead to many different places, but as they are already places that the kids are interested in, the self-selection is appropriate to me at least - I would rather my kids know themselves & be in pursuit of their own goals than successful by someone else's definition.

Interesting video. Really struggling to see how this is remotely good or productive for the students but to each their own I guess
