Before enrolling their children in public school, parents answer three questions posed by the site administrators:
1. Why do you want to attend this school?
2. What do you want to gain from this experience?
3. What are you interested in?
Granted, education is about getting students interested in things, yet every human being has to start somewhere, even if that means choosing a favorite color or a favorite past time.
With this model of questioning and preparation, students and parents work together to tailor what they want the child's curriculum to explore.
Rather than permitting the school to decide the process and the end for the students, a greater sense of collaboration and respect emerges. Parents can better evaluate the effectiveness of student learning, students are engaged in something which they already have some competence in or at least some interest in pursuing, and the school can invest its time, personnel, and resources in teaching as opposed to distraction and discipline, which sadly characterizes most public schools and students' experiences within them.
