Re: [xmca] The Movement to Restore Children’s Play Gains Momentum - NYTimes.com

Another article on the same project, featuring one of the principals, can 
be seen here:

http://www.udel.edu/udaily/2011/dec/golinkoff-holiday-toys-120910.html

This article celebrates the cultivation of creativity, vs. school-type 
bubble testing, as follows:

"Do you want your child to be the boss or do you want your child to be the 
drone?" she asks. "If you want your child to be the drone, don't worry 
about the development of creativity, just get them things where they have 
to fill in bubbles like in school.

"But if you want your child to be the boss. Then get them things that will 
help them think about new ways to solve problems."
