Is There a Sudbury School?

Sudbury school is run democratically by the school meetings so and the school meeting consists of all the staff and the students. The kids are not segregated in any way from one another or from the staff. Staff don't regard themselves as teachers they don't call themselves teachers because they don't believe they do any more teaching than anybody else in the school does. There's no curriculum there's no tests there's no academic requirements. So, if you were to visit the school at any time of day, knowing only that it's a school. You would probably assume it's recess time and somehow this is a school where all the kids have recess at the same time.
