1. that looks like garbage research

Whenever I see out-of-domain experts cited on a miracle study I reach for my broadsword

[unblock]

3. Out of domain? From what I can tell, hes studied creativity his whole career.

Going back even before NASA was founded.

In any event, the idea that creative genius connects to something very natural for children is nothing novel. Certainly it’s a well-known idea in the art world.

8. picasso said- every child is an artist.

and it is the truth.

2. no it's the constant testing the right wingers

constantly demand that makes teachers teach to a test and not the whole person. The reason for these tests is that right wingers and corporations want you to only know enough to fill their work positions, nothing more

4. Replicated a million times over ...

and no accounting for factors other than schooling makes this the province of non-critical thinking.

6. Seems obvious

Having kids that have been in two different schooling systems I can totally relate to this. It is very easy to see the benefits of a good system and method when compared side by side to a standard system which may be sufficient enough but it is hard to see that fire go out as they are going backwards because of it.

7. Thanks for stating your recognition of this, Thyla,

and welcome to DU.

10. and my daughter's doing it now,

younger daughter that is, one 3 year old boy. Older daughter's sending 2 kids, 2 and 4 years old, to a good 'day care, nursery,' and keeping an eye on local schools. I posted this article, and she shared it with a friend. My grands are doing well, with close oversight by my daughters. I have concerns for what will be possible in the future.
