The dingy walls. The fraying carpet. The mismatched craft supplies. The beaten up teacher’s desk. If you have a child in school, you know exactly what I am talking about.
About 5 years ago, my children’s elementary school had a renovation to convert the interior of the school from the 70s-style open classroom/school without walls to a more modern look with self-contained classrooms with ACTUAL walls. When my oldest was in 1st grade the noise level in the open classroom 1st grade pod was deafening. My daughter never complained about the noise level…she got used to it. Kids adept to their environment.
Your child may be getting the best education that money can buy either through your tax dollars or tuition, BUT your child’s classroom may be in need of a makeover. Macy’s wants to help you. Through the Macy’s Classroom Makeover Sweepstakes, readers of this blog can enter to win a makeover for their child’s classroom. Think about your child’s classroom and you will come up with a laundry list of improvements, I am sure! One of my daughters has a class in a portable classroom. That portable classroom needs reliable AC/heating…STAT. The local high school could do with a paint job inside to make the school look less like 3-4 separate units and more like a unified school.
