Flat Classrooms and New Schools

All kinds of big-thinking goodness about self-directed learning models in education:

• Holistic and Integral Education: Flat Classrooms, bouncing off Warlick's Flat Classrooms
  
• What if everything we think about school is wrong? This one was triggered by the fantastic Fairhaven School video, which seems to have popped up all over the place (more info here).
  
• Karen Remeis responded with: A different approach to school, somewhat skeptical about how many students will be motivated to learn in any kind of self-directed way.
  
• Albert Ip's follow-up post goes deeper.
