The Edible Schoolyard/ Night in the Global Village

I thought both the podcast topics were interesting but I like the Night in the Global Village best. It puts the students in the shoes of others so they can experience what that person goes through on a daily basis. The kids living in the refugee camp had to make their own fires and things of that nature.
On the other hand the other kids had running water and the "luxuries" and i use that term loosely because it wasn't really luxurious. Some students even have socks taped over their hands as a form of a disability.
I the Edible Schoolyard i would love to be a student at MLK Jr Middle. The student learn through interaction. Working and maintaining the garden, then being able to use the materials that were grown in the garden to make lunch would be great.
Alice Waters started the program as a way to improve school lunch. The Teacher Chef explained that some of the basic skills that should be taught at home are being left put so being able to do all these things at school just completes the circle.
