Anarchistic free school

An anarchistic free school is a school that has no set rules or hierarchy among the students and teachers. Imagine you and your friends want to learn new things, but you don't want anyone telling you what to do or how to learn. That's what an anarchistic school is like!

In this type of school, students get to decide what they want to learn, and teachers act as guides who help them find the tools and resources they need to learn it. For example, if you and your friends want to learn about animals, you can choose to do so. If you want to learn about gardening, you can do that too.

In this school, everyone is equal — students and teachers are all on the same level, and everyone has a say in how things are run. This means that students can make decisions about things like class schedules and what kind of supplies are needed.

An anarchistic free school is all about giving students the power to take control of their education, to learn in a way that makes sense for them, and to build a community based on mutual respect and cooperation.
