There is no monolithic definition of democratic 
education or democratic schools. But what we mean here is “education in which young people have the freedom to organize their daily activities, and in which there is equality and democratic decision-making among young people and adults,” as quoted from AERO’s Directory of Democratic Education. These schools and programs take many forms and include public and private alternatives and homeschool resource centers.

The Ten Signs You Need to Find a Different Kind of Education for Your Child
by Jerry Mintz
- Does your child say he or she hates school?
- Does your child find it difficult to look an adult in the eye, or to interact with older or younger children?
- Does your child seem fixated on designer labels and trendy clothes for school?
- Does your child come from school tired and cranky?
- Does your child come home complaining about conflicts that they’ve had in school, or unfair situations that they have been exposed to?
- Has your child lost interest in creative expression through art, music, and dance?
- Has your child stopped reading or writing—or pursuing a special interest—just for fun? Are they investing the bare minimum in homework?
- Does your child procrastinate until the last minute to do homework?
- Does your child come home talking about anything exciting that happened in school that day?
- Did the school nurse or guidance counselor suggest that your child may have a “disease,” like ADHD, and should be given Ritalin or another behavior regulating drug?
