I visited a Sudbury school once in Maryland, where most of the boys spent the day absorbed in video games. The teacher supported them, saying "this is how kids learn nowadays." For all I know, she may be right. But it must be difficult for the parents to pay that tuition knowing they could do the same at home. It also supports your point that affluent communities are the natural home for this kind of learning, although to my knowledge Summerhill School in the UK (the granddaddy) is not affluent in background.
