Canton of Zurich: No Peace in the Classroom – When Quiet Children Leave Elementary School
– A growing trend in the Canton of Zurich: More and more quiet, well-adjusted children—often girls—are leaving public schools. A report by Tele Z explores this trend, and School of Tomorrow also featured in the segment.

This allows the learning environment to be deliberately chosen based on the task and individual needs.
