he children were building their assumptions about ownership and the social power it conveys — assumptions that mirrored those of a class-based, capitalist society — a society that we teachers believe to be unjust and oppressive.

Idiots! The very society that they think is unjust and oppressive is what makes our country great. Without competition in a free capitalist system you end up with the dredges of humanity spread to all corners. NO one would be able to lift themselves out of disparity, leaving misery for all.

Where do these morons come from and why are they teaching our children?

We all know the answers to those - they are leftists, but Americans still; and they teach because we allow them to.

Yes. I especially note that when the kids started building again, at first they still tried to keep their own buildings their own, but after a while they realised that if you have to build all the buildings the same, it really didn’t make any difference who built what, and they all “cooperated” building everything. The teachers thought that was a triumph, but it was actually capitulation and resignation.

If they had had more parts for the little people (hats, etc.) what they might have seen is everybody STOP building buildings and spending all their time trying to make their PERSON the best person in the lot.

I solved this problem at my house by buying a few hundred thousand lego pieces. Now there is no such thing as a “rare, special” piece, and we can all build whatever we want.

Do you mean like 1976-1980?

Where do these morons come from? Unfortunately they came from college with a certificate in education.

Why are they teaching our children? Parents are letting their children being abused by the schools.
