I totally agree with you. For many years i worked as a kindergartenteacher. I had been the leader, so i had a bit influence and i wanted to change the common education. It does not work and i stopped my struggle... My team itself has been grown up in the new way and they cannot understand me - i have never been in a kindergarten myself but outside in nature... exploring, learning and having FUN!
My grandson is 4 years old and still i hope that the system will change (break down) before he has to go to school...
