School for Otters

Speaking of otters... I just saw the coolest Little Bear that had an unschooly vibe to it I thought. Emily is trying to act like a teacher, and the otters play along for a little bit. Interesting that she puts on a mean face and tells them they have to sit up straight and pay attention to be in school.... She is trying to teach them to count, but the otters are much more interested in having fun. At first Emily and Little Bear are a bit frustrated, but then they decide to give up and tell them they like them just the way they are. The episode closes with the otters playing and counting themselves, and Little Bear and Emily realizing they had been learning after all, even though it looked like they were just goofing off and not paying attention. Totally loved it!
