We live in hippy Ann Arbor and they go to an "alternative" school -my kids have the normal names around here!

...and happy clappy is compulsory in the playground -no cowering, just daisy chains and joyous friendships

The school is run by the staff, parents and students together. Learning is co-operative rather than competitive and student-driven. Classes are mixed age and teachers and all members of the community are known by their first-name, learning is experience and interest driven, with many field-trips, special focus studies etc....

(Hard to put in a nutshell, Here's the Website)

how's that for a topic drift?

(drifting futher, I remembered that someone on this board sent their children to Upattinas, and a quick search tells me that's you, I think. The philosophy is similar, although -being within the public school system- we are subject to an element of testing and specified curriculum (which we ignore to the best of our ability ) basically, they send us tests, we grit our teeth and do them, we exceded expectations then continue in our own merry way)

[/topic drift, honest]

Might want to make that classrooms on the site history page, seeing that its a school and all. I found at least two more, but. . . I hate being in publishing - I end up proofreading everything I see. Boxes, signs , menu's. . .

BTW, My brothers kids go to an Alternative school and they do really well there. They are all very, very smart and well above their age group in all classes.
