Competition is good - it's in the real world so kids must get used to it now. I really like the idea of playing at school – it gives kids an outlet from the traditional classroom setting.

Going to watch it later on today when I get back, no time now. But I do like the title, I already have to agree with what I'm thinking is in there. Part 2 will come tonight....I'm thinking it might be a 3 or 4 parter..not sure how it will unfold. Thanks for the link Scott. Going to watch it later on today when I get back, no time now.

Along those the theme of play is simple creativity as well! I suggest a viewing of Sir Ken Robinson's Ted Talk on creativity as it is a similar message... I think so at least. http://www.ted.com/index.php/talks/ken_robinson_says_schools_kill_creativity.html Good stuff Tom... have fun in Canada but seriously don't go over the falls in a barrel! Is there a game there? Play is very important for sure. Along those the theme of play is simple creativity as well!
