Somewhat. There are so many variables at work here; age, grade level, maturity, gender, appropriately trained/developed faculty and staff, and a near myriad of other factors. Further, no matter how you feel about testing, Carnegie Units, etc., the pendulum has swung in favor of axtensive and rigorous testing, assessment, accountability--whatever. BTW--the British had a free school movement after WWII; I believe a movie was made about it; I recollect that it was a comedy.
