Why CUTE is still a four letter word (a summary)
Why cute is still a four-letter word:
1) cute activities insult children's intellects
2) cute activities mistake doing with learning
3) cute activities often miseducate
4) cute activities undermine professionalism
5) cute activities frequently undermine educational equity
Instead:
1) pose real questions
2) ally with children: believe in them, strive to understand, identify with them
3) share responsibility: wonder together, set high expectations, help children in their choice making
A summary of the Editorial: On Behalf of Children, by Mary Renck Jalongo, from Early Childhood Education Journal, Vol 24, No. 2, 1996, page 67.
