Kid talk: Why I like going to school at DVS
From the Spring 2003 Newsletter

“I have lots of really good friends here.“
“You can't always learn the stuff you need in public school.“
“DVS is 'funner' because it's not like cattle herding!“
“We get to bring our pets to school!“
“No homework gives me more family time.“
“We get to do whatever we want - as long as we follow school rules.“
“I don't get in trouble for reading.“
“...or sleeping!“
“It's better than home schooling because I get to make friends.“
“You can take responsibility for things without a teacher - like you can write other people up for bothering you.“
“Students get equal votes with staff.“
