Getting sent outside used to be a punishment. Now MPs want to make it part of the timetable 🌳⁠ ⁠ The idea behind the Outdoor Education Bill is simple: more learning does not always mean more time sitting at a desk.⁠ ⁠ Supporters say outdoor lessons can help children build confidence, regulate their emotions and re-engage pupils who struggle in a traditional classroom.⁠ ⁠ The bill is still at an early stage and there is no guarantee it will become law, but it raises a fair question.⁠ ⁠ Should outdoor learning be treated as an essential part of school rather than an occasional treat?⁠ ⁠ #school #outdoors #ladbible
