The daily requirements are respect for self & others, as well as participation in end of the day "clean-up." All classes & activities are optional, and usually are designed based on student interest. Grassroots is based on the free-school model that originated at Summerhill School in England (founded in 1921, still in operation). The idea is that people learn best when they are allowed to approach learning on their own terms, in a free and open environment. I've seen bright, self-motivated people come out of the school and continue their education in more formal institutions. They are folks who prosper & grow in ways that benefit society as a whole.
