1. Read the texts. What is the purpose of each one?

I read an article about the Tinkering School recently, and my first thought was that it was a joke. How can a teacher tell parents that their children should do dangerous things? The world is dangerous enough already. We need to make it a safer place, and not a dangerous one. One thing I know for sure: I'd never allow my daughter to do any of the things Gever Tulley says children should learn to do!

It's now my daughter's second year at this school. I can only say that she's the happiest girl in the world, and we're the happiest parents. She's learned so many things. She loves painting and creating, and she's become a thoughtful girl who wants to understand how things work. In my view, every school in the world should be a Tinkering school.
