Professor Carlos Neto defends that children should spend the first weeks of school playing, instead of immediately following the traditional curricular structure. This position comes at a time when a new school year begins.
Neto criticizes the excessive time children spend sitting in schools, considering this practice harmful to students' development. The professor believes that the current model of school organization does not favor children's well-being or their natural needs.
The specialist calls for a transformation of playgrounds, which should offer more contact with nature. He argues that the outdoor spaces of schools should be redesigned to allow experiences closer to the natural environment.
In addition to contact with nature, Carlos Neto also advocates for more autonomy for children and more space for play during the school period, suggesting a significant change in the way schools organize students' time.
