Did you ever wonder what it would have been like if you were given free reign at school? No teachers on your case, no homework, just you and the other students working together to learn. If so, this is the school of dreams.
The Sligo Sudbury School will open its doors after the summer and they have a new twist on education. Sudbury is, 'A place for self-directed democratic learning in the North West'.
It's a school where young people aged 5-18 can learn through play and experience at their own pace, in their own time and in their own way.
The school follows a policy of self-governance where the rules are decided by the pupils. There's no fixed school time either - it's open from 8:30am to 4:30pm, but there are core times (between 10:30am and 2:30pm) where students must be present.
If you're scratching your head thinking 'this'll never work' (as we're sure a lot of people will be) then you need to hear what the school's co-founder Gayle Nagle has to say.
Gayle educated us on the concept on this morning's Dermot and Dave.
The lads also welcomed Julie Meehan into studio to find out why she has chosen to send her two kids to Sudbury.
Julie and her husband have done their research and although she says, "there's an element of fear because we're stepping into the unknown", the psychologist lists off a convincing number of pros to the new format and cons to the education system as we know it.
juliemeehan.com is Julie's blog where you can find our more coaching advice and find out how all is going at Sudbury.
So what are your thoughts? Do you think this will work? Would you send your child there? Or do you think it's a step too far?
