Notes
Description of Video "Free to Learn" is a 70 minute documentary about the Albany Free School, which offers a non-traditional approach to education. At the Free School, the children (who span the grades of Pre-Kindergarten through 8th) are not compelled to follow a standardized academic curriculum. In other words, they are free to decide their own curricula (what, when, and how) and are free to spend their time at the school as they wish. In this radical education, the students invariably learn valuable lessons, not only about academic/traditional content area knowledge, but more importantly about interpersonal interactions, democracy, autonomy, and problemsolving.
