    Okay no but Auggie recognizing that Johnny is lonely and excitedly running to take his hand and include him, then proceed to validate him as his best friend for the rest of the day, made me almost burst into tears. The empathy kids possess is incredible.

      THIS!! I have an autistic 5 year old son, I see so many similarities between him and Auggie. My son was always seen as the disruptive kid in class, but this year he got placed with a fantastic teacher. She encourages him to be his best self, and he's made astronomical progress this year. A good teacher can literally shape a child's future.

      Yeah, normally little kids are sat in chairs, given a piece of paper and a pencil to focus on, and told to stop wiggling at around this age. It’s not good for the kids at all, and many of us recognize it, but the current system is so ingrained that it’s hard to do anything else. Like this video shows, it’s not impossible, but it’s also difficult to make sure other systems teach the essentials of the society they’re growing up in as they grow, like paying taxes or cooking or math.

The point in this video that FS is not accessible to everyone and can be so costly was incredible as well because it is the truth and it needs to change. Every single child (and teenager and adult I do Forest school with all ages!!) deserves an education to a standard this high.
