You know, it’s not just about our bringing the stories to the kids. It’s them too – they are kind of insisting on it. This generation of kids is buying a lot less into the no pain/no gain nose-to-the-grindstone (no wonder – that is a miserable image and is likely to cost one their good looks!) philosophy of the past generation and they are demanding more fun in their learning. The old way of hard work all the time, which thankfully only involves the brain, and only half of that, is giving way to a generation of kids who want to learn without really working hard, in a way that includes their whole brain and their hearts as well. Sounds like what we do!
