are taught to manage risk, rather than avoid it.
Everything is dangerous! says outdoor teacher Heidi Buvang. We motivate children to expand their limits, to try hanging from branches and climbing trees. Outdoor nurseries are trying to counteract concerns that childhood has become overprotected and believe external education makes children more creative and independent. Were competing with computer games, says Heidi, Its important to give children the desire to be outdoors.

Amazing! I liked how the teacher motivated the children to do something very difficult by saying she had a special prize. When educators are enthusiastic in their approach to teaching, children can learn anything. I invite you to check out my channel.

This is fantastic! wish that we had something like this in Australia…. well we sort of did when the Aboriginals owned the land….
An appreciation of nature is what is lacking in today’s society, Children in particular teens look at a picture of a beautiful mountain stream or other scenery & go “duh how boring” they would rather play games on the xbox/wii/ps2/ipod etc than admire nature in all it’s beauty sad really.

@talkative12 In the states maybe. Hah! I actually moved from Norway to the states when I was a kid and I remember I brought a pocket knife to school and everyone freaked out. Americans really are paranoid. -.-
Then again we don’t really have school shootings here so I guess you have the right to be a little more tense.

@Olvee… sometimes …
@Olvee… sometimes what looks like holding someone up is actually holding them back. Necessity is the mother of all invention and when you don’t allow people to fail there is no way for them to learn and to succeed. It may seem weird but unless you’ve had to be there and make that choice you can’t see that you have to sign your life away with welfare. And when did hard work become something only expected of the few privileged? When did school become the only place to get smart or rich?

@Olvee people in …
@Olvee people in poverty or on welfare in American DON’T pay taxes and the tricky thing about how the welfare system works is that once you get in the system it’s really difficult to get out of. When someone who doesn’t have a lot gets to choose between getting the equivalent of $10 and hour without doing anything or slaving away at a minimum wage job will take the easier option. which is fine, but then in order to get off the system they have to get a job making MORE then $10 an hour…

@TheSaltyAdmiral libertarians believe in little to NO government involvement… Liberals believe in BIG government. You would be considered a liberal not a libertarian

@Bronxloyalist …
@Bronxloyalist Still, if your poor you are worse off than if you have cash. very low cost community college still dosen’t provide equal opportunitys compared to other kids from wealthier families. And btw, a country should be messured by how it treats its worst off, and you guys aren’t doing a good job there imo

@hgnobody perhaps everyone isn’t as smart and hard working as you father, but with a little help they could manage to atleast get out of poverty and thus pay taxes and contributing to a better society.

@Olvee my father …
@Olvee my father was born into a poor family that couldn’t afford heath care or college. That didn’t stop him though. When I was born we were below the poverty line but by the time I was in high school my father had work us up into the top 10% bracket. he worked his way through college, paid for it himself and without a single cent from wellfare, no loans, and without my mom ever having to get a job. As for family situations that affecting your school, try doing that with 4 kids! It’s possible

Olvee- people in …
Olvee- people in America who are poor recieve Government sponsored free health care and can go to very low cost community colleges.No one is turned away because they can’t pay and all hospitals have programs in place where a poor person’s hospital bill is paid in full fro a fund ste up for that purpose.Please do a little homework before calling me brainwashed.
Olvee
@Bronxloyalist – …
@Bronxloyalist – you know nothing about true freedom friend. “In America you have equal opportunity ” Is wrong in so many levels. Think about it long and hard. What if you were born into a poor family without healthcare or cash for college. You would be if you got sick, barely get into college if you were lucky enough not to have your family’s problems force you to not beeing able to do well in school. I know Im not supposed to be judgemental, but you sir is brainwashed.

So strange to see how the things we take for granted here in Norway, are revolutionary to others. We get conchious of, and grateful for, what we have. The good side of globalisation. Thank you, guys!

I spent part of my kindergarten years in a outdoors one, pretty much like this. We where basically never inside, rain, snow or shine, and I think this is a great way to raise children instead of a pampered artificial state with xbox and whatnot…learning animal tracks and recognizing birds and trees was a fun experience for me that I still value today:)
