Likely much more so than school is now. Playing among the trees, the students soon try and find ways to measure them. I know that I didn't really understand Pi until I got to college, despite an excellent math program in high school. I don't think even I truly understand Pi, despite having done a Science Fair project on the various ways to calculate it. There is an immense difference between seeing things in the cold clinical light of the lecture or textbook, and experiencing them in bright glow of the real world.
Actual experience makes a mark that is hard to erase.
The benefits of actual experience are so clear, and so real. We demonstrate them year after year at our own school with the effectiveness of the interim program. Dare to experience life itself. Dare to live, so that your students may too. For without life, and life experience, you leave us nothing to look forward to but death.
