Do you think that this school positively encourages and facilitates biosocial, psychosocial, and cognitive development? If yes, how? What aspects of development are they appealing to in their setup? If no, why not? How is this school inhibiting development? Consider the major developmental theories (psychoanalytic theory, behaviorism, cognitive theory, humanism, cultural theory, information processing, evolutionary theory) in forming your response.* Be sure to use your textbook to support your answer.
