Following a series of high-profile cases involving young defendents, the question of the age of criminal responsibility in the UK has been raised.<br />
<br />
Some child experts argue that children who commit offences needed to be treated differently from adult criminals.<br />
<br />
In March, the UK government rejected plans to raise the age in England and Wales from 10, one of the youngest in Europe. In Scotland there are plans to raise the age from eight to 12.

Jason Fried, CEO of tech company 37signals, said he invested in Khan's nonprofit because "the next bubble to burst is higher education. It's too expensive. It's too much one-size-fits-all. This is an alternative way to think about teaching — simple, personal, free and moving at your own pace."<br />
<br />
With a computer science degree from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and an MBA from Harvard, Khan settled into a lucrative position at Sand Hill Road's Wohl Capital Management, while his wife studied medicine at Stanford.<br />
<br />
Then, his young cousin Nadia started struggling in math. In afternoon long-distance conference calls to Louisiana, Khan taught her "unit conversions" using Yahoo Doodle as a shared notepad. He wrote JavaScripts to generate random algebra problems.<br />
<br />
Soon Nadia's brothers and other far-flung family members wanted help, too. Frustrated by scheduling tutoring sessions around work, soccer schedules and different time zones, he simply posted his talks on YouTube.

I was perusing Edward Snow's "Inside Bruegel: The Play of Images in Childrens Games" and impressed with his de-construction of the painting. As a big fan of document based instruction, I got thinking about how much students could learn from a close reading of the work. Link to painting.<br />
<br />
After a search, I found that a group of Belgian students had researched and re-enacted Bruegel the Elder's "Children's Games" (1560) for a class project. I'm reposting it to inspire enterprising teachers and students to try their hand at a reenactment of this (or another work).
