Jason Kuznicki
1:46 - The decision to remove Allie from conventional school and place her in a Sudbury school. "We decided 'Okay, this is enough.'"
8:04 - What Jason sees Allie learning at Fairhaven: "We started having a lot more interesting conversations."
10:41 - How Allie's new school has affected the family relationship and philosophy: "We have fun in the evenings instead of doing work that doesn't actually benefit her."
12:42 - Allie's desire to be an architect and her relationship with math: "It's on an ad hoc basis, but I think she is picking up concepts in math pretty well."
17:57 - Reflections on Allie's future, and transitioning from conventional to Sudbury school: "Be prepared for an adjustment and also for it to be more fun that you realized."

Allie Starin
21:47 - The Difference Between Learning at Fairhaven and Conventional School: "No one had time to explain it to me because they were playing kickball, so I just had to learn for myself."
25:28 - Government at Fairhaven: "Fairhaven is about responsibility and learning to be your own person."
28:21 - "Maybe I should give you a tour!"
34:10 - Learning and Living at Fairhaven: "You just find things to do, and keep doing them, and then you find new things to do. And you really expand your mind there."
