Dream Tower

(Transferred from DB)

When watching the documentary on Rochdale, I thought to myself, WOW what
a school. A school with rules that are agreed upon by the students?
Where do I sign up? The thing that seemed the most impressive to me was
that the initial student seemed to be very responsible and did not need
any pushing from adults. They knew education was a necessity, and did it
their way. I don't understand how they were able to maintain a whole
educational facility with fundings and a coherent schedule for the
student to abide by. Soon enough, I realized all that freedom was not
the best thing for college students. Some of the kids started to take
advantage and what that did was ruin it for the kids who really wanted
to learn. I do agree with them on how the educational system is very
rigid and not friendly to the diversity in personalities, however that
rigidness gives us some order and gives us something to think about. I
think of it more as guidelines rather than rules.
