The digital learning video reminded me of a recent This American Life episode that I listened to. In the final segment (act 3) the show visits the Brooklyn Free School where all of the students vote on all of the rules. Also, any student can call an all school meeting at anytime for any reason. The teachers also have a vote, but the students can overrule them. It was very interesting to learn about this new approach to learning.
You can hear the short segment (16 minutes) at the link below and listen to act 3.
