I am still trying to wrap my head around the micro-school concept. Is it an alternative to current schooling system or a more humane extension?

I love the idea of micro-schools. They definitely attract a lot of neurodiverse kids. I switched from public to a small private school (12 in a class max) in high school. Because of that, I think there are HUGE benefits to small schools. It’s fantastic that these schools are more affordable than private schools, too.

My kids are autistic, and their best year of school was at a homeschool co-op that opened a morning private school. We had preschool through high school and they were in elementary. I taught 4th-6th grade English and History with about 8 students in my class. It was awesome!
