YES YES YES! I co-founded a democratic free school in Montana USA (Glacier Lake School) and this resonates perfectly with our approach.I heard this on the BBC when it was released. Great animation Camp Stomping Ground...share this please!
+Ben Kestner Thank you Ben! I checked out your website and the school looks amazing. We will have to find a way out to Montana to see it in action. Thanks again!
What about the teachers? Do they also get to decide their curriculum how they manage the schools and everything because that would be an amazing system.
It is about a sharing and democratic economy and social model. It is also about how you do it though. We need to change pedagogy and make the tech work for everyone, it is about individual learning paths.
That's interesting, sadly, in typical American manner, you need to justify democratic education by mentioning profitability and performance. Democracy is valuable even if it's at the expense of capitalistic concerns.
So her argument is that it worked to give methodological autonomy to highly-educated, full-matured adults who were first taught how to work by non-autonomous parental guidance... and therefor it'll work for children. Claiming that post-training competence proves the validity of pre-training competence... that's brilliant.
So she begins the video by acknowledging that the concept she is about to present isn't anything novel but then proceeds to lecture us on it anyway. Typical liberal elitism on full display. She then talks about intrinsic motivation as if students are just brimming over with enthusiasm (especially in the upper grades) to learn if only we as teachers will let them tap into their enormous reservoir of potential all will be well. What a crock. Really? She then cites Silicon Valley and industry as examples, blithely overlooking the fact that their extrinsic motivation is making money and receiving personal benefits. Seems pretty capitalist to me and we know that democratic education is really all about social justice and everything vague and real that portends. This is nothing more than agenda-driven drivel presented as inspirational pedagogy. After 35 years in public education at the secondary and tertiary levels in three countries, I have grown wary of this clap-trap.
"So she begins the video by acknowledging that the concept she is about to present isn't anything novel but then proceeds to lecture us on it anyway. Typical liberal elitism on full display." that may be the dumbest sentence I've heard in a while. The concept of mathematics may not be 'new' but you still need it explained to you in order to understand. Also, I DO think students have a natural drive to learn, they just don't always want to learn the same thing. Our current school system wants everyone to fit into the same mold but that mold simply isn't gonna work for everyone. People may be motivated by prophet now but that, to me, is more of a problem to be addressed than a fact of life, as you present it. Finally, I'm not sure what democracy has to do with liberalism. I thought it was the left that hated western democratic values?

After all we are all children. ..lolll
Thanks, Jazmin, for sharing this video! It's going to be part of my welcome to future classes.
I'll kill myself now then
I am not getting the sound on this video
You're not missing anything.

Wow ! Well done Rachel. Just discovered the video.
there is a mistake at 1:12. The sentence should be: "the child has the right to CHOOSE TO learn what, how, when, and with who they WANT to do it".
Wow, how authoritarian of you. Why not have a vote on it and enforce the majority opinion on all dissenters?
"I want to learn how to put tigers into dresses and launch them into outer space"
Hey, grammar doesn't matter; it's all in the passion.

Fantasy! Not realistic or practical.
