A new kindergarten in northern Germany is taking the idea to a new level. The kindergarten - which in Germany starts at age three - allows its tiny pupils to vote on certain aspects of their daily routine, often revolving around food. Within it are seven fundamental rights for the children, and explanations of the limits of what the kids can vote for. They may, for example, vote on designated choices of fish sticks with lots of side dishes, or fish sticks with just peas, or perhaps just peas with mashed potatoes. They could even vote to have none of the above, which can be testing for the kindergarten staff.
