While Northeastern continues to throw up new buildings (hello new 12-story dorm), some Back Bay institutions prefer to progress in a more liberal fashion.

Cue this new playground attached to Northeastern's neighbors Carter Elementary (they're not even a Montessori school). A sensory garden outdoor classroom? What kind of new age feel-goodery is this? Does this touchy-feely school abandon grades too? Don't the organizers of this school realize this isn't Burlington, Vermont and there are drug dealers a few blocks away?

It's bad enough this elementary school is so close to crime Roxbury, but what's up with the 21st century hands-on education approach?
