Thanks. I'm certainly no expert (or even knowledgeable) about childhood education but many of my hippie friends went to what were called "free schools" and it seems about the same. Some of them were lucky if they could count out the correct change and had never read a non-fiction book in their lives because they never got around to being interested in reading, math, science or anything other than playing. Maybe it's like home-schooling and it all depends on how engaged the parents or teachers are.
