Differences The following are some differences between traditional education ("autocratic") and individual education ("democratic") model of education: Basic principles The following are the basic principles of the individual education school system: Children can veto their attendance in a class. Children are not in a competition or race; they only compete against themselves. Children decide if and when to study and there is no homework unless the child asks for it. Children can learn in whatever fashion works for them. Feedback regarding their learning is given to children as soon as possible. Every child has a teacher-adviser, an in-school parent figure who the child chooses. There are only three rules; they are impartially and strictly enforced. Children have the opportunity to develop special talents if they wish. Children are offered a wide range of creative/applied courses. Learning is considered a privilege, not an obligation.
