The video was lacking. It lacked a scene of a 'classroom'. It lacked a comment by a teacher or principal. It lacked any indication of how some of these students turn out when they leave. My mother had a book about such a school somewhere in England about twenty years ago. I forgot the name of the place. But it's not a new concept. Looking at these goofy kids (all but one of them) did not excite me about the place.

I would want to know more before making a real comment.

If you read and understood 5750-52 you'd kinda realise that the top heavy model was not the Rebbe's - he was (in my view) anti-hierarchical; Torah Chadasha is partly ‘No Longer Will One Man Teach His Neighbour For All Will Know Me’ (Jeremiah) etc... But Hey - what the Bleep Do I know?
