Mechanics...

DRC members coming from traditional schools legally become homeschoolers.  By homeschooling, we do not mean replicating school at home or parents teaching their children.  It is the simplest and most direct way for youth to leave school and create a life and education for themselves.

Please watch this  awesome documentary made by a member of Princeton Learning Cooperative (PLC).  This along with Ken Danford's Ted Talk really explains the nuts and bolts of what Self-Directed Learning looks and feels like.
