Scandinavian Preschool: No bad weather, just bad clothes

submitted by oxdottir

1 decade 5 years 2 months 2 weeks ago

This school in San Francisco is very hard to get into. The attitude is so different from the normal preschool in the US. The most striking is that it is totally play--much of it outside: no "learning" at all. The teachers are there as a resource for the kids--not to make them count or learn their alphabet.

My favorite parts are "there is no bad weather, just bad clothes" and "the dirtier you are, he more fun you are having."

There is something very simple but effective in work here. Letting kids be kids, let them get dirty and adults just hanging out with them teaches more valuable lessons of life than any hovering tiger-mom style. Asian countries have surpassed Scandinavian in math skills but at horrible cost. It's just stupid to put kids in to super-learning mode if they grow up unhappy, with social skill problems, unable to fit or feel accomplished.. I like our way of doing things, thank you very much. Eat dirt, climb where you shouldn't and fall down, scrape knees, explore without fear, get hurt, discover, all of that is important part of growing up.
