Description

Stan speaks to Fran McCarthy, who has dedicated her career to schools in which children are free. Fran is a behaviour expert, runs workshops on conflict management, and is founding a democratic school for some of Sydney’s most disadvantaged young people.

What is a democratic school? How can a school function when children have autonomy? How can learning be measured without exams? Can disadvantaged children handle freedom?
