[edit] The New School
Are you sure that The New School is really a Sudbury school? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 217.231.216.164 (talk • contribs) 06:22, 25 June 2004 (UTC).
No I am not sure. But look at this site http://www.thenewschool.com/Organization.htm
There is self-directed learning, a assembly, school meeting, judicial committee and a yearly election of staffs. In my opinion these are the most important facts. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 164.133.91.1 (talk • contribs) 07:30, 3 August 2005 (UTC).
[edit] Jefferson County Open School
This school is definitely no sudbury school. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 164.133.91.1 (talk • contribs) 07:30, 3 August 2005 (UTC).
- JCOS does meet all the criteria on Sudbury model. Although I just looked over their site again, and it appears they only mention the age mixing on that site. Too bad. --NormalAsylum (talk) 17:27, 5 August 2005 (UTC)
[edit] Criteria for a Sudbury school
I don't mean to criticize the inclusion of any given name on the list, but shouldn't the main criterion for definition as a Sudbury school simply be the school's self-definition? There are no set ideological criteria for this definition, there is no organization of Sudbury schools that sets criteria for membership, and the good folks over at Sudbury Valley School seem glad to meet people from schools with a variety of models similar to theirs and share their experience with them. Because of this vagueness - or complete absence - of definition, it looks like any school that associates itself with the Sudbury model and is not blatantly and obviously not a Sudbury school should be considered one. If a school does not associate itself with the model it should not be considered a part of it, as the ideological tenets of a school or the administrative system do not seem to be enough to define this model.

[edit] Pedantic geographical note
The Fairfield School (Wolfville, Nova Scotia) is in Canada - moved 30 Jan 2006. (Richard)
