Morning at the Bean
Posted by Dave on 2008/04/04
This just in by email – it has been around the block, I suspect.
A little girl had just finished her first week of school. “I’m just
wasting my time,” she said to her mother “I can’t read, I can’t write
and they won’t let me talk!”
But on the other side of the coin, I was just talking with a sixth grader, sitting next to me at the Bean Cycle, who is operating in an open campus environment and very excited about project-based learning at his school. He explained the structure: An overall Renaissance Fair project committee, and subcommittees with individual tasks – his group is setting up a bocce game, and he wanted to get to school before he “had to” so he could meet with his working group.
