Children Design Playground

Most of us don't listen with the intent to understand. We listen with the intent to reply.

The New York Daily News (May 20, 2011) reported that students at a public school in Brooklyn "are in love with their new playground — because they designed it themselves."

"The city transformed a parking lot at the school last month using a blueprint created by kids. Until then, the school didn't have a playground.... Forty students from PS 181 collaborated with designers from the non-profit Trust for Public Land on a plan for the one-acre space. They met at lunch and after class during the second half of the last school year to discuss what they wanted in their new playground."
