RE: School is the best place to kill creativity in our children, Sir Ken Robinson talks about this in a interesting , funny and deep way.
I grew up on a farm much like your nieces school and I think that helped me survive alone with my Mom letting me draw as much as I wanted! I don't think there is a standard norm, that was made up to meld minds to fit into the industrial revolution need for workers, managers, and teachers.
That's not bad growing up like that. I was lucky my mom let me play outside a lot. I was't allowed to watch tv all day every day. And I'm glad now for that.
Maybe it wasn't made up. But it grew to a point to where we at now.
What about 30 children in a class, forced to be silent and to sit in a standard form. Learning the same boring stuff? Learning children they have to go to scool 32 hours a week, practising a full time job. I think is pretty standard,
9 out of scool here are like that. There are not much alternative here in The Netherlands but im not really an expert on this its just i.m.o.
Peace :)
My husband is from the Netherlands, he hated school with a passion! We will talk again I am sure of it, take care...
then your husband and I agree big time :)
Deal :)
