Re: Book: You Can't Say You Can't Play

I was fortunate enough to meet Vivian Paley in Hays, KS this spring.  She
was most interesting and I know the book will be as interesting to many
others as it was to me.  The whole idea of non-exclusionary behavior did
change the character of the classroom -- and the character of the children.
Kudos to a great book and an author who was able to articulate her findings.

Says something for in-classroom research.  I bet a lot of those working in
the "field" -- classroom teachers and library media specialists -- have
much to say in regard to what has been found out about children and their
behavior and way of learning.
