One of the primary differences between alternative or democratic educational schooling and public schooling from what I've observed is that there are different stances around mandatory education. Some alternative schools do not have mandatory education at all. Several have mandatory education models that orient around activities that don't occur at all in public school. Others do believe in that everyone should have to learn basic math and writing.
