[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]To each his own, but for me the problem isn't that MV hopes to have their students do some gardening/cooking. It's that they want to do that in addition to the many other things they're trying to do. You can't be everything to eveyone, and I worry that the school--which is only a few years old--is doing just that.[/quote]

This is already a huge part of the curriculum.  It is a major aspect of the sustainability program and teaches the children a lot about science.  Sustainability includes a lot more than just environmentalism, it is also about nutrition to sustain your body, gardening and cooking to sustain resources, playing nice to sustain your community, etc.  Moreover, all of the children already have integrated gardening and cooking lessons so that they cook (and eat) from their own garden.  The goal would just be to integrate it further and have the facilities to do so.  The new building will already be equipped with the larger gardens to make this program easier to run year-round.  It doesn't actually involve much more additional work, just better facilities and a thoughtful use of them. At Mundo Verde very little is done in a one-off type of way, it is all integrated.[/quote]
