Full professor Carlos Neto argues that children should spend the first weeks of classes playing, in order to learn how to relate to others. This position emerges as a criticism of current educational methods, which the professor considers to be "out of fashion".
According to Carlos Neto, current methods are based on an educational model in which children are sitting, quiet, and obedient for most of the time. This approach contrasts with the professor's vision, which privileges playing as a form of social learning.
The specialist emphasizes the importance of creating conditions for children to develop relational skills from the first days of school, rather than more traditional teaching models.
