it's so important to have
times in the day where the children really are choosing what to do and
and for many children they choose to play
whether it's pretend play or
playing with your pencils or
doing something that's imaginative play really has to be seen as
uh...
a kind of universal cultural activity for children
it's what I call the invasion of the academic
early childhood classrooms
that there's there's nothing wrong with having some emphasis
on learning to read and learning math
i think it is wrong to restrict the ways in which children can learn those
those academics and to restrict the ways in which
they can explore the world, play can lead to an interest in literacy lead to an
interest in the art
uh... and it just
i think what it does is it opens up opportunity
for all learners
