Notes

You probably don't need to read this in order to be convinced that kids should be able to play freely, and that the modern school system is more or less a terrible idea. But if you're on the fence (should my kid play with older kids? should my kid's play be managed by adults all the time? Is school mostly soul-crushing or only kind of?), then this is the book for you.
