Free Schooling

Here's a bunch of cool video clips from the EducationRevolution.org site starting with Nellie Dick and the Modern School-a preview of a two-hour interview with a 96-year-old pioneer in the alternative education movement. Born in the Ukraine of Jewish, anarchist parents in 1893, she started anarchist schools in England back in 1908, went to the US in 1917 to teach at the Modern School in New Jersey. The Modern school movement was founded on the ideas of the Spanish anarchist educator Francisco Ferrer.
