This also reminds me of an interesting alternatvie high school in Russia I read about here on HN years ago: https://www.euronews.com/2012/03/02/spotlight-on-russia https://www.euronews.com/2012/03/02/spotlight-on-russia The New Humanitarian School in Moscow was one of the first private schools to open in Russia after the end of the Soviet era, and its teaching is radically different. Vasily Bogin, the head teacher and founder of the New Humanitarian School, said: “We educate children in a broad sense. The education we give them includes developing their personal potential. A smart villain is worse than a stupid one. So it is primordial to make a good person first, and then a clever one.” Lessons include “anti-manipulation classes” – interpreting hidden messages in the media. The aim is to make each child capable of independent thought.
