摘要：As Holt suggests, we need to create gates so that those who want to escape the
walled garden can more easily do so. To this end, creating an alternative school
is one such gate. Not surprisingly, many believe that doing so entails a lot
more obstacles than it actually does. Some believe that you would need many
credentials, for example a PhD, or a Masters in education, or you would need to
be or have been a principal in a public school or at the very least a certified
teacher. The truth is that none of this is a prerequisite for starting your own
school and that anyone with the will to do it can. Of course there are
challenges, yet these are not insurmountable. We hope that those who are
thinking about starting a school will use this piece as a resource and as an
inspiration to start their own school and to continue to put up gates for those
willing to escape.
