Posted by Kelly:COME ONE AND ALL TO THE ANNUAL HOMESCHOOLER'S THEATRE SHOWS. NOTE THE DATE, IT DOES NOT CONFLICT WITH THE HOMESCHOOLING CONFERENCE! READ BELOW FOR THE INFORMATION. Start: 19:00
As part of the Festival of Anarchy, the Montreal Rad School presents "The War on Kids". This film exposes the many ways the public school system has failed children by robbing students of all freedoms due largely to irrational fears. Children are subjected to endure prison-like security, arbitrary punishments, and pharmacological abuse. Schools not only fail to educate students, but the drive to teach has become secondary to the need to control kids. | ||

As part of the Festival of Anarchy, the Montreal Rad School presents "Summerhill".Imagine a school where you don't have to go to lessons, you make all the rules yourself and climbing trees and building boats are definitely part of the curriculum. That school exists. It's called Summerhill and it has been there for 70 years. Maddy and Ryan attend Summerhill and find it changes them in ways they would never imagine. But then when inspectors decide the school must close, Maddy and Ryan join forces with staff and pupils in a battle that goes to the very heart of the Government. Based on a true story, Summerhill is an enchanting drama that will captivate everyone. | ||
