This is partly inspired by the school’s visiting architect, Peter Lippman, who has a great philosophy about the two most important questions we should ask in life:
1) Why?, and 2) Why not?
Children ask them all the time!
— why couldn’t they have snowball fights?
Because they’re dangerous.
So what if measures could be taken to make them safe?
Then there’s no reason why not.
And the same applies to children who like to learn lying on the floor, for example, instead of at a desk.
‘Try it and if it works, it works!’
