It was a  long time ago I talked with him, and no doubt I have at  
least some of it wrong.  But Anarchist seems to fit better.

I was in a group this evening where it was brought up that many  
decades of research has failed to prove that homework for school  
students does NO good in educating them better.  Also, the students  
in schools which are very unstructured (No lesson plans, no classes,  
no tests, no state approved minimum achievement standards...but LOTS  
of available stuff to do with and learn with) do way better than  
average students in structured schools.

Thanks for the clarification. I appreciate it.
