I think that having a student operated discipline system might be getting dangerously close to the same groupthink cultures we see online, even on HN. Ultimately I think that while a unified community like this has its place, it tends to push people towards agreeing with the group for sake of social acceptance rather than what's actually good for the community.
- jostylr 11y agoI work at a Sudbury School and my experience does not support this. My take on this is that we have a community rooted in a fundamental acceptance of people that tolerates disagreements. Different attitudes and views are welcomed. Thus groupthink is generally avoided. We often have split votes in the voting process and no one ever shuns someone for how they vote on an issue. Actually, no one really shuns anyone though, of course, they are not all friends.
