No I'm not objecting I was merely curious. I am always looking for
sites which are educational as well as a research tool for
education. I have two boys ages 5 and 8 and I'm also always looking
for more information on critical thinking and problem solving
skills.
Awhile ago we talked about VTS (visual thinking skills) and I've
read quite a bit about project zero as well as whole language and
(not related)Reggio emilia. I don't think this list is so
narrow-minded to only include art related topics, but that which
will develop and nurture the whole child. We are not cocooned into a
square peg or at least I hope not.
