The Blue Man Group has a private, "progressive" school in NYC....
Costs $32K per year, and from the sounds of the parents in this article, it is a complete fucking joke and the little crumb crunchers are hardly learning a thing.
The Blue School, founded by members of the theater troupe and their wives as a play group in 2006, got its independent-school charter in 2009.
The school holds an annual fund drive for parents — 72 percent contributed during the most recent one, officials said.
School officials say students decide their own curriculum, and have no set arrival time. Grades run from kindergarten to third grade. A fourth grade is being added next year.

This sounds like a fucked up attempt at Montessori. Even in the best cases, Montessori kind of fucks up people. I've worked with adults who went through it, and unless they are working on something they are interested in, they just don't fucking do it. Not a very practical mindset for the real world.

What kind of parent likes the Blue Man brand so much that they'll put their little snowflake into a Blue Man school?
No set arrival time?
I had free tickets to see Blue Man Group in Vegas years ago, I gave them away to a stranger.

Isn't part of growing up and being an adult doing things you don't like??
There used to be a montessori school on along my jogging route and I wanted bitch slap all the parents dropping of their kids because I knew thier kids were going to be future pain in the asses.
