When children are free to choose their own educational path - and supported in doing so - they learn quickly and deeply. When they have real power through democratic processes, they learn to consider seriously the viewpoints of others and stand up for the rights of everyone in the community.

A good example in California is the Diablo Valley School in Concord, founded in 1997.  ( …
