“Our children are screaming for their freedom, for movement, for free expression, for a time out. As a mother, I’d rather have a happy kid who learns at his own pace. I’d rather have a child who comes home tired from adventures, whose self esteem isn’t dependent on grades or test scores, who is motivated to learn because he’s curious and not because he’s being told that this is what he needs to know. This is why I love The Open School.”
