Entrepreneurial Kids
Awesome videos on how we would do our kids a service by teaching them to be entrepreneurs instead of worker bees.

Voice of SD Article
The article:
Setting the rules is part of schoolwork at Innovations Academy, an unconventional K-8 charter school with roughly 200 students that practices what it calls "positive discipline." Children handle disputes together instead of running to the principal. They create rules adults might not agree with. The idea is children will become more independent, cooperative and thoughtful instead of merely compliant, learning the how and why of following the rules.
A parent write up is here as well.
Enjoy,
Danielle
