DVD: Voices from the New American Schoolhouse

Voices from the New American Schoolhouse explores life outside the usual educational box. Narrated exclusively by students, the film chronicles life and learning at the Fairhaven School in Upper Marlboro, MD which practices an undiluted form of freedom and democracy that turns mainstream education theory on its head. Filmmaker Danny Mydlack enjoyed unrestricted access over a two-year period to produce this candid and unblinking encounter with kid-powered learning. This movie is for anyone who ever went to school and imagined something better.” (more)

And it’s the job of adults to expose them to models and information, answer questions -then get out of the way without trampling motivation. There are no classrooms per se, although students can request instruction on any subject or talk to any staffer any time about an interest. There aren’t even grades. From overnight hiking trips to economics classes to weekly school meetings at which all matters-including my visit-are discussed and voted on by students and staff, all activities are age-mixed.”
