Great article! As a former teacher in the USA penal public school systems, I learned from my authoritarian mistakes that kids are just as smart as adults and deserve to direct their own learning. Will the system ever allow this???

yes! Kids are great and they deserve more respect.
You are right about public school being a penal system.
Children who don't want to be there, are forced to be there by the law. Sounds like an 'institution' to me!
We have a joke inside our house where we call school, prison.
My son's friends will come over and complain that they have to go back to prison, and that they wish they could stay at home like we do.
