. . . Five first-graders debate the
creative process, the relationship between culture and civilization, and many other complex ideas. Being first graders, they appeared to be able to take on these ideas using very simple language, making them easy to understand. The teacher is careful not to overly influence the children: he prefers to let them develop their own ideas. After discussions inspired by his own students, he writes down his own thoughts . . . This is how we come to read a diary.
Please come and and take part in the discussion!
