At the end of that time, Legos returned to the classroom after the children agreed to several guiding principles framed by the teachers, including that "All structures are public structures" and "All structures will be standard sizes." The teachers quote the children:
"A house is good because it is a community house."
"We should have equal houses. They should be standard sizes."
"It's important to have the same amount of power as other people over your building."
the children werent allowed their lego's until they agreed that all structures are public structures.
seems to me they forced this view upon the children. maybe not violently or obviously. but it was a rewards based system, sort of how you train a dog that it gets a treat when it does what its told.
these children were told, listen to us, believe these principles, you get your toys back.
