There&#x27;s a fairly good documentary about the sudbury school somewhere, I&#x27;ll come back and edit this post if I can find it.<p>But the premise is largely one of giving students greater agency to pursue their education.<p>Frankly, even as someone who finds them fascinating I reject any notion that they would be successful outside of affluent communities. There is just no way that kids would learn without a very strong family based push behind them. It&#x27;s kind of an interesting approach, but I really do believe that they can work, but only in a subset of situations.
