Childhood is a time of curiosity and exploration. Yet, we stifle these innate qualities by sitting children at desks for eight hours a day, five days a week, and forcing them to regurgitate test prep.

If you’re interested in learning about such reforms, consider supporting the Humano Ludens project today. Your contribution will help make education reform accessible to everyone.
