The documentary is expiring on Netflix so I thought I would give it a go, but I see it is also on YouTube. It's about the first year of a free school in New Jersey, where the children are equal to adults and there are no classes or rules. The students make the rules and have democratic meetings. I am about 40 minutes into the documentary and find it very disturbing. It just seems like there is so much aggression and disorganization.

I don't know how these kids can learn anything.
