Not only are kids learning a lot outside the classrooms, but also they are experiencing a lot. Students watch TV, they go on walks, they get on the computer, they eat, and they sleep, but do they know why, how, what, who, and when?

Cross-curriculum and cross subject education must go beyond the classroom.
