Just learnt about the sudbury school model this week. I'm seeing a group of well adjusted successful teenagers who have found their passions in life who are going to go on to have successful careers in jobs they enjoy, have a true love of learning that will follow them the rest of their lives, and won't have to deal with the ptsd and trauma that comes from a rough strict 'normal school' where you spend most of the time bored and uninterested and not learning anyway. I wish I had the opportunity to go a school like this, as someone with autism who was heavily bullied and much preferred to spend time in the library, computer labs and music rooms teaching myself, this would have been heaven.
it's totally normal for people aged 18 - 25 to not know what they want in life, to be still questioning and doubting and looking for answers. Expecting that they should have all the answers about who they are by now is funny.
What disappoints me about the second kids testimony on how sudsbury has "prepared" him for college is that what they claim for kids to discover what they want to do was not the case for him and not because he liked too many things, but rather the negative...this is only one problem with this system

@@Nothin2seehere-e4z yeah! It bugs me how a lot of adults say things like "well how do they learn to read?" If they are talking about younger kids. But I dont think they understand. They learn it the same way you learn to walk. Or talk. You observe, take it in and eventually you can do it yourself.
I hate this comment still. Education isn't limited to college for the next step, but society currently influences what makes a good next step, which makes for a stumbling block for what someone's true next step should be
No offense but do they even have help or teachers their because I have a feeling that most of those kids talking at the table weren’t too educated to go to college or what to do with their life
Students at Tallgrass have help and support from staff and other students. Their education at Tallgrass is very different from education at mainstream schools, but we've actually seen that Sudbury students are just as successful in higher education, and often more so, than students from mainstream schools. The students on this panel were certainly ready to go to college, and did so, and succeeded in their higher education pursuits. One has a masters in Economics, one went to culinary school and then completed a degree in nutrition, one finished nursing school, and one graduated from a liberal arts college with the highest honor her college awards.
This panel includes Tallgrass alums who have: finished a masters in Economics; gone to culinary school and finished a degree in nutrition; finished nursing school and passed the Illinois nursing licensing exam; and graduated with the highest honor at a liberal arts college. If you don't think those students are successful, I'd be interested to know what you think successful is.

Mary Orio - no, the correct spelling is as posted - their, as in "their" collective education.
Yea, go to school Mary, Sudbury for example :-)
Mary Orio If we are still talking about THE education, then it's THEIR education, not THERE. The subject is not the place but the education.
Mary Orio Ok, that makes it clear we are speaking about two different texts. :-)
Its sad... this video show just how unsuccessful kids coming out of this school are...
