A new trend seems to be emerging, and I can't pinpoint when exactly it began. More and more it seems people are trying to get back to basics. My thoughts are that it might have always been around, but that the current economic situation spurred its progression. This article is about getting back to nature.
It caught my eye because it's about a) kids, b) school. And so I was hooked. It proved quite an interesting read about a school in which nature--not manicured lawns, and shiny jungle-gyms but the rugged outdoors--is an integral part of the experience. I liked the descriptions of the leafy outdoor classroom, of children partaking in imaginative games, and of the idea fueling the new program. This article was more of a snapshot than a narrative.
