The Walden Project

An interesting article from about an alternative school called "The Walden Project." It sounds like a pretty cool program, although certainly not for everyone.

My favorite part: a former student's answer when asked if she and the other students ever get tired of Thoreau:

"We do, we definitely do," she says, laughing. "We make jokes about him, we make fun of him, but then in the more serious times, we kind of come back to him and his basic message. So it's a love-hate relationship with 'H.D.', as we call him, or 'H-Dog.'"
