Tackle is all about freedom of expression

...The third question in our evaluation with the kids about Caravan enquired about what they told their parents about caravan. To which they replied that, they went home and told their parents about the freedom Tackle gives them, the various toys they are allowed to use at the Caravan and the lessons and plays Tackle conducts for them through which they are able to learn. This is when it occurred to me that the major role of Tackle had been acquired as the children were free and at the same time they were learning; they truly believed that this was a release for them which was one of the primary goals of the caravan to provide them the freedom to express themselves.
The last question probed about what they would tell the teachers and principals about Tackle. To which they responded that school restricted their creativity to competitions while Tackle gave them the freedom to choose what they like best, and perform freely. the children also replied by saying that in school we have teachers who teach, give us homework and mark us, but Tackle is more than that and that, they really look forward to Saturdays to come and engage in the many activities.
