I don’t think anyone is encouraging total unstructured freedom.

I went to a school without grades. It encourages cultivating a love of learning. There was concrete feedback on quality of work and assessments of knowledge (tests). But no public grading scale. It’s been awarded 3 blue ribbon awards and consistently outperformed its grading-based peers.

I know it's a lame answer because I can answer it to most new schooling concepts

Cohorts.

If all the students you schooled with could easily come from the other available systems and your school could only expel them at the same rates as the other schools I'd be happier.
