DEMOCRATIC EDUCATION
In the most democratic classrooms, teachers should creatively engage students in activities that are of the students' choosing. For some students, this may mean quiet worksheets, but for many, this is most likely hands-on manipulative work. Students should be allowed to choose an area of study, and the entire educational plan should revolve around that subject area. (For instance, if the students like space and vote on having a space unit then all subject matter should pertain to space.)
Class schedules should be open for debate and vote so that all students in the class feel as if they have had a voice in the decision-making process of day-to-day educational tasks. If it is feasible, students should be allowed to work to their own schedules, but if not, a class vote to decide on time tables will suffice.
From a school-wide perspective, democratic education takes the form of student body government with real power to make decisions for the school in areas such as educational planning and programs to be offered.
