Play is how kids explore, discover, fail, succeed, socialize, and flourish. It is a fundamental piece of the human being condition. It is the key to offering schoolchildren skills they have to succeed-skills like imagination, innovation, teamwork, concentrate, resilience, expressiveness, empathy, concentration, and executive function. Expert institutions such as the American Academy of Pediatrics, the National Academy of Sciences, as well as the Centers for Disease Control concur that play and exercise about Let the Children Play: How More Play HELPS YOU TO SAVE Our Colleges and Help Children Thrive are crucial foundations of youth, academics, and potential skills-yet politicians are destroying play in child years education and replacing it with standardization, tension, and forcible physical restraint, which are harming to learning and corrosive to society.

But this is not the situation for thousands of lucky kids who are enjoying the power of play in universities in China, Tx, Oklahoma, Long Island, Scotland, and in the complete country of Finland. In Let the Children Play, Pasi Sahlberg, Finnish educator and scholar, and Fulbright Scholar William Doyle make the case for helping schools and children flourish by unleashing the energy of play and giving even more physical and intellectual play to all or any schoolchildren.
