You Can't Say You Can't Play

BY VIVIAN GUSSIN-PALEY

Brief Description:
"The author interweaves her private reflections, her conversations with children, and a story she spins, to tell what happened when she instituted a radical new order in her classroom. Her new rule prohibited children from excluding someone who wanted to play. The implications of such a non-exclusion rule are profound; most of the children resisted at first, but with discussion began to adjust their behavior and truly experience the benefits of making no one a stranger. Paley makes a powerful statement in this slim book, to teachers, parents, and society at large." - Book News
