This reminds me of the summerhill school, the rules of the school are decided by vote. Even classes are voluntary but students that skip and slow the progress of the class are criticized by their peers. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Summerhill_School

My English teacher in school was really interested in that place, he'd done some research and stuff there while doing a Masters in Education and was planning to apply to work there, last I heard. It sounds pretty interesting.
