PLease tune in to "World Peace and Other Fourth Grade Achievements" [View all]
Tonight, on public television stations across the country, will be the airing of a documentary about the most amazing teaching tool I've ever seen. Your life will be more wonderful for having watched "World Peace and Other Fourth Grade Achievements." I promise.
Anyone who remembers being a fourth grader, or has ever taught a fourth grader, knows they are problem solvers. Please watch this documentary if you can. Tell your friends, extended families, co-workers, everyone about this outstanding work. Sit down with your children and watch. Then talk about it. I am hopeful that tomorrow, this can be the buzz. Everywhere you go, people will be talking about this program.
If fourth graders can get to world peace, so can we. Just an educational tool, this is fabulous. This is what education is about.
John Hunter, the creator/teacher of the World Peace game, has been doing this for 28 years. He also has a TED Talk here:
