"Set my children free!"


When children play in the snow, they are free.

There are no pre-set rules.

Rules develop from their play,

And when they change their play, the rules change accordingly.

What would happen to pre-set rules in their other worlds if they were set free

to allow the rules to develop from what they are doing?

Such an experiment was made in a poor area in the world.

A computer was stuck into the village rock

Children gathered round.

They were intrigued by the changing images they saw on the screen.

Then, without any self-consciousness, without any fear of making a mistake,

they began playing with the computer.

And without any classroom, without any teacher, through trial and error,

they learnt how to use the computer.
