and john dewey, the granddaddy of american education, recommended that shit 100 years ago now.
ask barack obama or rahm emanuel. they sent their kids to the u of chicago lab school, started by dewey himself. the talent that has poured out of that school all these years is one of chicago's secret weapons.
