As an ex-PPS parent whose child had to go through the traumatic experience of moving from Schenley High School, a building that inspired one to greater possibilities, to Reizenstein,a "warehouse for kids," described in this article, it is interesting to see that other districts are choosing this route in the design of their buildings.
These "schools challenge long-accepted notions dating back to the 1950s of school buildings as no-frills projects designed to fulfill safety specifications and to be completed as quickly and cheaply as possible."
It would be wonderful if the administration could understand that the environment in which learning takes place also affects the educational process.
