I loved reading the Trimis, Savva article. It didn't raise many questions for me, it more reinforced beliefs I already had. Growing up my parents always made sure to connect me with nature and the world surrounding my neighborhood. From the time I was an infant I was taken to the Adirondack Mountains once a year, where we'd spend a week camping, and exploring nature. As I grew older I had always thought that some how those trips had an impact on the way I thought as an adolescent and onward. The question's this reading did raise for me were more literal ones such as:
With our ever growing obsession with safety and security, will these practices always be able to be withheld?
If so will the school district I am employed offer possible transportation, and or be comfortable with an entire class of children walking around a forest, beach or anywhere that could pose potential yet unrealistic threats?
