What’s wrong with American schools?
I just got back from a schools conference and while I came out feeling inspired to go back to work on Monday, I wonder what other people that are not involved in designing schools are thinking.
Our opening workshop was all about school security. How we need to lockdown our schools to make parents feel safe about leaving their children there. Leave no places for people to hide, create nothing that could cause a security risk, including no operable windows on the 1st floor. The goal – to try and design a fort without making it look like a fort or a prison.
At the same time, our keynote speaker gives a speech about kids a product of the environment we put them in. If you build them a prison, they’ll act like prisoners, if you building them a nice and inviting space they’ll be open to learning and enjoy spaces that invoke creativity.
What do you think? If you were tasked with designing a school, would your biggest concern be security or creating inspiring learning environments?
OMG.
I wish I could’ve picked your brain over this a month ago.
We just finished remonstrance process over building a new middle school. Our current school is landlocked, a multi-level-scissor-stair-ADA nightmare, and is a safety nightmare for both public access and nightmare emergency evacuation.
People for saving it say it’s “historic” when it’s aesthetically dead due to two additions that are architecturally different.
Your keynote speaker is right; the environment impacts their learning–even their attendance.
You can do security and inspiration at once. The middle school we want to build is similar to one I once taught in. There was one entrance with a welcoming area and offices, with the rest of the school on lock-down. Each grade had their own wing and individualized learning spaces.
The additional problem is cost. In Indiana, we’re accused of building Taj Mahal schools. But if we build something cost-effective, then we’re accused of it being ugly and not fitting in with the architectural fabric of the city.
Our results will be in within 10 days. This is the second process and I hope it goes through. The current middle school is the old high school. I teach in the twenty-year-old new high school that was a product of the 80s: Cost-effective-get-the-job-done-but-looks-like-a-prison designs. We have just about everything we could want, and it’s cared for and looks okay. But it’s not really really pretty.
Just getting an computer lab in my class room has improved student productivity. You can’t tell me that environment doesn’t impact a child.
