From Wikipedia, "Alternative education, also known as non-traditional education or educational alternative, describes a number of approaches to teaching and learning other than mainstream or traditional education. Educational alternatives are often rooted in various philosophies that are fundamentally different from those of mainstream or traditional education. While some have strong political, scholarly, or philosophical orientations, others are more informal associations of teachers and students dissatisfied with some aspect of mainstream or traditional education. Educational alternatives, which include charter schools, alternative schools, independent schools, and home-based learning vary widely, but often emphasize the value of small class size, close relationships between students and teachers, and a sense of community."

Why I Support This Cause! Not everyone learns the same way!
Mainstream school is torture for some people--not everyone learns the same way, or thrives in environments in which we're surrounded by hundreds of people who are the same age as we are. Some people learn better by ourselves or in specialized environments. I'm sure I would have been a better learner had I sought out education for my own purposes and goals rather than learning how to compete to succeed within the educational system. This is mostly what I learned--how to be good at school rather than how to develop practical skills or accumulate knowledge that made me think critically. Sometimes I wish I could do it over again and teach myself how to learn my own way.
