Interesting overview of how little schooling has changed in the last 100 years. Disapointing though that the author seems unaware schools like @SVS_School changed the paradaigm 50 years ago. We're waiting for everyone else to catch up. educationrickshaw.com/2017/1… #free2learn

It's painfully obvious, I know—but it should *never* come down to recess versus academics. This piece is part of a research-based animation series I've been editing for @edutopia. More coming soon! #playmatters

We shouldn’t have to choose between staying close and connected to our children and a successful career. Let’s allow working parents and kids to participate in the #futureofwork #kidsarethefutureofwork
One third of all employees reported leaving a job during their careers because of caregiving responsibilities @forbes forbes.com/sites/sarahkathle… I wonder what percentage of these workers left to take care of a child. I'm building a solution @popschoolsapp

I feel ashamed that so many of us cannot imagine a better way to do things than locking children up all day in cells instead of letting them grow up knowing their families, mingling with the world, assuming real obligations, striving to be independent & self-reliant & free.

"For a small child there is no division between playing and learning between the things he or she does just for fun and things that are educational. The child learns while living and any part of living that is enjoyable is also play. " - Penelope Leach
