The comparison of a private school in Massachusetts (Sudbury) with public schools nationwide is poor.
And this is the single statistic on which the thrust of the article is based.
- everettForth 13y agoThe one in Massachusetts is the original Sudbury school. Families literally move across the country to enroll their children at that school, so I'd say it's a pretty special case.

The point is that clearly the complete lack of curriculum is not placing these students at any significant disadvantage. That alone I think it a mind-blowing idea given how radically different the educational environment is compared to traditional schools.
