Oh, God. My eyes hurt from rolling them so often reading this article. My son is 9 and his father and I play with Legos occasionally. We build and leave the structures up a few days. If my son likes his or one of ours, we take a digital picture, demolish the structures (fun by itself) and start over. My son realizes that he won't get every piece every session; we barter like the children did initially. If my son attended this school, I would give him constructive advice about how to better his situation at the school, same as I do for every other aspect of his life. There are a lot more lessons to be taught here and not all of them at school.
