Why is it important?
This article shows that even when schools following a democratic model try to radically reimagine what school looks like, they still pick up on the dominant ideas in the culture.
Perspectives
This article provides a fresh perspective on the Sudbury model of education. It is located in a special issue about neoliberalism and education and is the only article in that issue that looks at this type of school--which hasn't really been researched before.
