By now you've heard about the pre-school in Seattle that banned Legos. (h/t and link -John J. Miller at NRO)
Well I just wanted to see what this school was like, so I went to their web page and found this info. Now I went to college in Westchester County NY in the late 70's and my parent's didn't pay that much then, but I guess when you are teaching that
"This educational approach provides fertile ground for risk-taking and the kind of collaborative work that helps all of us contribute to our community, without deeply compromising our own well being... In this process children become powerful researchers and problem solvers that know how to agree and disagree without hurting themselves or others. Rather than working in isolation, children get to experience a diversity of ideas and perspectives that inform their rich collaborations."
(emp. mine)
Isn't it amazing what you can learn for $1100 a month in pre-school?
