Nerd News: The UK "Free School" Movement

Fascinating!

Even more so: half the supporters of the idea are teachers. This isn't full-on "edupunk" since there is still state funding involved, but it's probably as "edupunk" the UK ed system is going to get? Still, the existence of this as a movement at all is evidence of the fact that there is dissatisfaction with the education status quo. As always, MM applauds folks who want to fix a problem. The "Do Something Useful" tag comes out of retirement.
