Students are allowed to study that which is interesting to THEM.
As an example - if a child is interested in bicycle racing he could:
- Learn about speed, distance, and acceleration (math)
- Learn about aerodynamics and friction (science)
- Study the diets and training plans of elite cyclists (physical/health ed)
- Examine the cultural impact of events like the Tour de France (social studies)
- Produce a final report/read bicycling opinions and op-eds (English)
- Read reports on races in foreign languages (French as a second language)
In this way the child exists squarely out of the box - there are no subject-imposed boundaries to his learning.
