umsami Posted May 6, 2013 Share Posted May 6, 2013 OK, yes I know it's the Daily Mail, but still an interesting article.... sounds like some of the "Free" schools that opened here in the 70s. http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2320080/Toronto-ALPHA-Alternative-School-pupils-pictured-40-years-later-turned-accountants.html " One of the trailblazers of alternative education methods was the Toronto ALPHA Alternative School that opened its doors in 1972. The acronym comes from 'A Lot of Parents Hoping for an Alternative', and they banished many of the traditional markings of school - insisting that their children not be given any homework, tests or grades. Instead, they were taught in individual or small group sessions, both with children their own age but also much older students." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
