I was wondering what would happen if a child came to Sudbury that did
none of these things; neither learned, grew or developed the whole time
they were there?

But what is the next phase? When the children of Sudbury have their
children and these children live in *freedom* from birth, does this mean
the second paradigm happens the moment the baby leaves the birht canal
or is it still only possible at the Sudbury door?
