Sudbury Valley Model schools are radical in today's education landscape -- these schools are true democratic institutions where students and teachers are equal. Many of these schools are managed by a School Meeting where each student and staff member has one vote. School Meeting is responsible for the budget and staffing, and for creating rules for running the school. The Judicial Committee at each of these schools is responsible for enforcing the rules created by School Meeting. Judicial Committee typically have several students and one staff member. Students at these schools are free to do what they wish -- study, play, relax. There is a story about a boy at the Sudbury Valley School who fished every day of school for three years. The Sudbury Valley School is the oldest of these schools in the United States, and was inspired in great part by Summerhill -- the school in England founded by A.S. Neill.
