Everywhere you look, physical play--what some might call "roughhousing"--is being marginalized. Gym classes are getting shorter. Recess periods are being eliminated. Some new schools don't even have playgrounds. Is it any wonder children retreat to "virtual horseplay" via video games?

| Author | Sarah Napthali |
| ISBN | 1742374492 |
This is a thick book -- It combines Napthali's three Buddhist mama books, hence the complete part. I'm still in the middle of the first book.

| ISBN | 1580050298 |
On loan from a fellow mama (baby connection), this book was sadly dated. The writer gave birth to her daughter at age 18, in the late 90s.

| ISBN | 0671724177 |
The book is a radical take on the school system, and the solution it offers is nothing short of the system's deconstruction. I take offense with Kozol thinking of people never being independent of one another: I believe in the concept of free will, and in the ability of man to choose. Blaming the children...
