Frequently Asked Questions

Does “classified:good” just mean that you think the item is “good”?

For us, classified:good takes on a specialized meaning in the realms of education, child development, consumer goods, and community engagement.  We are thinking about how communities share knowledge and experience, work and play together, and create a sense of place and belonging.  We’re centered on education yet focused on living.

Traditional education pulls the disciplines apart with long-lasting implications.  Learners are forced to pick favorites and prioritize them against each other, leaving some knowledge and experience behind.  We lose track of how the disciplines fit together in everyday life and, consequently, how the people who engage in the disciplines fit together.

The classified:good mark indicates curated opportunities to observe, experience, or engage the disciplines in tandem even when exploring a particular discipline in depth, creating platforms and space to reassemble the fragmented educational and communal puzzle pieces.
