As a culture, it's easy to get
bombarded and let open - ended play time for our children slip
by as we worry about whether they're reading
by age three, holding a pencil correctly
by age two, and counting to 100
by age four or even involved in dance,
music, and t - ball each and every week.
To be fair, the same is often the case for humanities courses for science and engineering majors, but the big difference is that these students can not help but be
bombarded by literature,
music and art elsewhere as a part of the pop culture that permeates daily life.
