[quote=Anonymous]I teach preschool. I have worked in a worksheet heavy classroom, and I have worked in a play based learning classroom. I can say that there's a completely different tone in the latter. Kids in the worksheet heavy classroom lacked a joy, a spark for learning. Some liked the worksheets, but many dreaded it and developed anxiety about those papers. Why set kids up to already dislike school at such a young age? Play based learning doesn't mean just play--it means exploration, curiosity, discovery. We teachers want children to love school and see themselves as life long learners.[/quote]
