Ditto... I totally agree.
and in the interim? Until parents catch on, and or public policy is changed?
I don't think best case is going to happen anytime soon, and if we are to continue having public education, it SHOULD consider kids' REAL needs.
I can see a possible scenerio, that public schools are subjected to so many regulations and limitations that the only reasonable conclusion would be that they indeed CAN'T provide childrens' needs.
There is no reason that a child can't do basically what you described in a group scenerio. My kids did. In Montessori. They loved going to school. Never complained until they went to public school, with ridiculous rules, excessive homework, stressful TAKS tests, no social time, have to ask permission to go to the restroom and may be denied, etc.
I don't know the politics, but what's the opposition to Montessori. I know some progressive schools that have implemented some of the philosophy, why not all, and why not all schools?
Seems that anything useful and proven to be beneficial has been rejected. Why not phonics???
It does make one wonder if schools aren't really bm/conditioning warehouses themselves.

I used to wonder. Now I'm convinced of it.

Deborah,
Evironmental - Yes, health department. The fields
are contaminated with goose feces. They need to be cleaned up and not by the children. It is a walking respitory health hazard. However, since
the owner does not have to work in it, sit in it,
do push ups in it, etc., obviously nothing has been done. I'd like to deposit it in his home
for a bit and see how he likes it at 60,000.+
a year. I feel bad because obviously you have been around the block with everyone and hit dead ends. But, it is the old saying, if you cannot
get them one way with the truth, there is always
another way with the truth. ie. FOLLOW THE
MONEY TRAIL... As with the Ed Con's, it works.
E-mail those people, please help us. Thanks

I'm sure it seemed like the idea place for the fields, but it was design error, given that the geese are probably permanent. I'd sure hate to see them harmed in anyway for the convenience of humans.
Send me a PM and let me know how I can help 'ya'll'.

Deborah,
Geese are not harmed. They clean it up and
use scare-crow like structures. For some crazy reason, they stay away.
