> One's naive expectation would be that they limit their choice of work to the few places which are run in truly democratic manner -- but how many of those are out there, really? If they do not, they are likely to be deeply unhappy about what they do. Why is that naive? What's stopping them from redefining work? I would venture that adults emerging from these type of school systems will be very well armed to call bullshit when they see it and not comply with it for the sake of belonging. I think you underestimate just how many good organizations, teams and opportunities are out there. Or maybe I'm also too naive (and that's really not a passive aggressive statement, I actually mean that that could also be the case!) EDIT: That said, I'd be very curious to learn about the challenges the alumni run into when leaving school too!
