Quote
A gym class is noisier than any kindergarten room, yet the gym teacher appears always in command. We expect children to run and shout in the gymnasium, but we are not so certain what good preschool play looks like. The presence of doll corners and block areas encourages fantasy play, but a natural and predictable consequence of that play is the contravention of the oldest school commandment: Thou shalt not run in school.
