There is little that is more intimidating than a mama bear when her cubs are threatened. This mama bear realized that her children would be threatened in our traditional schooling environments. Regardless of what was being taught — how they were being taught was in direct opposition to how they were created. They are designed to experience, explore, interact, think, discover, “fall down” over and over again until they master skills. City Schoolhouse was created by parents, including this mama bear, for children and families. It was not created by the government, teachers unions, or with a corporate efficiency model in mind. It was designed to serve children and families, sharing with them the gift and joy of life-long learning!
