Someone who knows more about it might tell us how the Reggio Emilia schools
in Italy and others developed after the war in the absence of central state
control may have realized the ideals which Diane and others have sketched.

I believe that before, and after, schools were mostly under Church or state
control, but that in the aftermath of the war, with normal schools not
operating, cooperative groups of parents and members of communities set up
their own schools, and later built their own buildings, evolved their own
style of curriculum and teaching and so on.

Nothing like broken eggs for making an omelet, eh?
