2. Any model that you can point to or did you just string some words together?

3. Are these a.k.a. home schools?

4. Home schoolers liked talking about independent free community schools . . .

not run by the government, completely free in their own personal community-based economy, separate from the fiat currency.

Value created/defined belongs to the creator.

. . . . perhaps combined with community-health centers providing also mental health help, substance abuse work, family education, child-and-elder care and anything else community members want to learn.

Smaller is better.

Just brainstorming solutions here . . .

6. Homeschoolers are a very diverse group...

Running the full political and ideological spectra.

I do agree that smaller is better in almost every case and I'm generally a supporter of more local control.

It has it's dangers, of course, but so does centralized control.

5. Then organize a charter school along those lines

7. If that's a charter school (which is what it sounds like), count me out.
