In Japan they usually refer to schools following the Sudbury Valley model.

Is "Free-Schools" Japans social equivalent to "Free-Range" as in Free-Range chicken ranching? Just let your students wander around and learn what they can !

Not too far from that no. It provides the opportunity and encouragement to learn, without the requirements and formalized classroom structure normally associated with regular schools.

So what's to prevent these kids from become either irritatingly precocious brats or complete slackers with no skills or education?

The best way & the quickest way, to solve a problem is to say that it isn’t a problem & then you don’t have a problem.

See! No problem.
