“We are called a school, but we look nothing like any school out there,” says Joey Moncarz.
He helped start the Deep Green Bush School more than a year ago. Moncarz is also the head
teacher.

“We don’t do things like telling kids it is time to write or learn maths," he said. "When they are
interested in doing it, they do it.”
"Students learn to read, write and do math at their own pace. They decide when to start, not
the teacher, Moncarz said."]]> 2021-02-26 16:14:00 UTC https://padlet.com/27bonselbe/2424yxjij0l6lkqx/wish/1245842349 27bonselbe https://padlet.com/27bonselbe/2424yxjij0l6lkqx/wish/1245962000 The key idea is introduced by an anecdote because it is a short story and it goes back to explain what they were doing.

The key idea is illustrated by saying that even though that it is not a school, it still teaches kids things they will need in life. ''Moncarz thought schools did not prepare children for the problems of the future. They did not
teach kids enough about climate change, for example. The Earth is heating up. This is called
climate change. He began thinking about opening a school that teaches hunting, gathering
and survival.''

The key idea is elaborated by saying that kids are not happy in regular schools, and should choose when to learn about important topics, but now they should learn about the important things in life before the other things.

Some supported claims are the claim that it does not have the appearance of a school, but teaches kids about the important things in life and let's them choose what they want to learn when they want to. Another supported claim is that kids should not have to be locked up in a classroom their entire life because it makes kids dread school, and not want to go and come home unhappy everyday.]]> 2021-03-02 21:28:39 UTC https://padlet.com/27bonselbe/2424yxjij0l6lkqx/wish/1260861256 27bonselbe https://padlet.com/27bonselbe/2424yxjij0l6lkqx/wish/1261229530 One similarity of the two sites(NEWSELA and Friends of ODS) it that both of them show the positive effects of Outdoor Schooling and how it can help you in school with important subjects.
One difference is that the NEWSELA article really focuses on the pros of survival skills and the Friends of ODS focuses on how it helps you with making friends and bringing people of the community together and other things that you might need in life.]]> 2021-03-03 00:00:39 UTC https://padlet.com/27bonselbe/2424yxjij0l6lkqx/wish/1261229530 27bonselbe https://padlet.com/27bonselbe/2424yxjij0l6lkqx/wish/1261283492 Here are some interesting facts about ODS(Outdoor School):
Being outdoors boosts your mood, increases you energy, improves problem solving skills, and reduces stress.
Here is a video about the pros of ODS
Here are some facts from a research:  "Children who attended outdoor school raised their test scores by 27%" "Students who attended the program received significantly higher ratings than children who did not participate for: self-esteem, conflict resolution, relationship with peers, problem solving, motivation to learn, behaviour in class."]]> 2021-03-03 00:21:35 UTC https://padlet.com/27bonselbe/2424yxjij0l6lkqx/wish/1261283492 27bonselbe https://padlet.com/27bonselbe/2424yxjij0l6lkqx/wish/1261321550 2021-03-03 00:32:41 UTC https://padlet.com/27bonselbe/2424yxjij0l6lkqx/wish/1261321550
