2.8 — Student Accountability

2.8 — Student Accountability: Overview of Liberty Common School

(LCS Policy 1.9)

All students are capable of learning to accept responsibility for their own education. The philosophy and practices the School will acknowledge that young people are free to act and can be held accountable for their actions. The policies of the School will encourage discipline, hard work, cooperation, making decisions and living with the consequences. Such policies, and a clear understanding of academic expectations, will help the School's students to choose a personal quest for intellectual and personal growth. The students' sense of an alignment between their personal educational goals and those of the School's will further reinforce their desire to accept responsibility for their education. Such an approach to student accountability has been termed "agency education."
