Considering the unique nature of the Sudbury model of education, and that there are now over 40 schools practicing the model started at Sudbury Valley School, it seems this is an important school to write about. I've cleaned up what was here a bit, but if the page is going to conform to the proposed Wikipedia:WikiProject Schools template, there is still some more work to be done. Aaron Winborn 12 Jun 2005

[edit] Encouraging creativity?
I have reverted the recent addition to the Curriculum section seemingly claiming that the freedom allowed to students is intended to encourage creativity. The way I understand the educational model, and indeed the way the founders of SVS talk about it, the freedom is not intended to encourage anything in particular. It is intended to allow the students to develop as is right for them, without any unrequested interference. The Sudbury model does not have any kind of educational agenda in the traditional sense. The model simply expects people to take responsibility for themselves and manage themselves effectively. It is misleading to claim the model specifically espouses creativity.

[edit] Point of View
Looks like this article needs a POV "cleanup"; not to mention citations — most articles are in desperate need of facts. --Charles Gaudette 15:31, 22 July 2006 (UTC)
In response to Charles Gaudette and requests to expand the article, I have attempted to flesh out the article and add several sources. I am still concerned about a neutral POV, as I had trouble finding criticisms of the school or its instructional methods. If anybody is aware of articles of criticism, please cite and discuss them.
