[quote=Anonymous]An excerpt (from a description of the 7-8 year old class) from the Smithsonian article titled "Why are Finland's Schools Successful?": http://www.smithsonianmag.com/innovation/why-are-finlands-schools-successful-49859555/?no-ist=&fb_locale=zh_tw&no-cache=&page=2 Little hats, coats, shoes stowed in their cubbies, the children wiggled next to their desks in their stocking feet, waiting for a turn to tell their tale from the playground. They had just returned from their regular 15 minutes of playtime outdoors between lessons. “Play is important at this age,” Rintola would later say. “We value play.” With their wiggles unwound, the students took from their desks little bags of buttons, beans and laminated cards numbered 1 through 20.
