“In constantly responding to preconceived ideas, children lose opportunities to demonstrate original thinking, organize concepts, and design formats which capture their intent. Prescribed curriculum, an exclusively predetermined learning agenda, ignores the contexts that are naturally created by childhood. Although some elements of prescription have value in planning curriculum, the notion of the "child's curriculum" has long been buried under layers of national, state, district, and school mandates.”
