The question, “Do you let children bring in toys from home?” on a teacher chat reminded me of this blog from 2014. We live and learn. Live and learn. If you want to know more, please do!

The logs had to be turned just so, the children heaved them into place, connecting them in a great and steady loop, wedging in bricks and smaller logs to stop the logs from rolling. Surely you could see this from outer space too they declared. I spread my arms wide, "Here it is! Our philosophy of education embraces risk!" was all I could think to say.

The moments when the "it" is caught up by one of the children or the parents and all "its" layers of intended, imagined, and perceived shininess are peeled away.
