Stretching convention farther than Empowerment Incorporated, and pushing the progressive envelope farther than the vote flocking game is vote sized learning.
Vote sized learning uses vote sizing in a classroom environment, to give the worst performing students more say in determining the curriculum.
Allowing the poorest performers the largest say over what is taught - and how - in a classroom pulls everyone into the process; and teaches genuine co-operation instead of do-or-die competition.

Questions vote sized learning explores:
- Should we treat grades like income?
- Are some grade levels better suited to vote sized learning than others?
- Could a vote sized learning classroom be good indication of what to expect from vote sized politics, or vote sized companies?
- With vote sized learning put in place; would ivy league universities' grades rise or fall faster than the public schools?
- Would it be easier for a vote sized class to sustain a lower grade average than a higher one?
- In order to work, would it need to be integrated into a larger conventionally competitive program?
- Should the vote sized student body also control parts of the budget?

Power in the money, money in the power,
minute after minute, hour after hour.
Everybody's running, but half of them ain't looking
what's going on in the kitchen, but I don't know what's cooking.
They say I got to learn, but nobody's here to teach me.
If they can't understand it, how can they reach me?
I guess they can't, I guess they won't,
I guess they're fronting!
That's why I know my life is out of luck, fool.
