whoa~ being boxed in?

Last week I went to a PDS party, and played this board game called 'black & White'I never played this game before and didn't know what the rules were. So I was pretty hesitated to play (of course i wanted more booze and stuff :)) but some how got to play the game. The game made no sense to me, I was building and trying to match colors of the pieces which really didn't make any sense. I didn't know the rule, and there was no point of winning? I couldn't find the goal to win and no connection with the pieces. After for a while, someone explained the purpose of playing the game and something stroke my head that night thinking about it. "Aren't we, as teachers to used to methods, models and approaches that we seem to be boxed into this design curriculum in schools?"How you feel so uncomfortable with something that's not structured and it can lead to thoughts that there is no point doing it. As some one who studies Vygotskian philosophy, moving away from the design is something that I've learned in the class. Not totally agreeing but how Wenger pointed out the learning can't be designed is something to remember.
