Ah, wish I was in Sudbury school myself!
So many years gone wasted.

Unfortunately, I don’t have it either, though I read a lot of it a few years ago. The findings relevant to the topic at hand, if I recall correctly, were mainly:

*People from SVS go on all kinds of different paths (for example, the lists of professions were very long, with many different professions listed for just one or two graduates)
*Many of them are independent or self-employed
*Many of them go into creative trades of all different sorts
*It’s not unusual for them to switch to a different profession at some point in life
*A very large proportion of them is happy with what they’re doing in life

I wish I could report in more detail…

Care to elaborate just a bit more till I’ll get it?

Yes, Sudbury Valley School did two extensive surveys of graduates; the results of the more recent one are published and discussed in the SVS Press book Legacy of Trust. I’m not aware of any similar studies done in other schools, or with graduates of Sudbury schools in general, but SVS is a couple decades older than the rest, so that’s not surprising. :)

Do you happen to know any research done on Sudbury graduates and how they’re living today? Regarding their personal success, financial success, family life, contributing to society and so on?
