I couldn't believe how clean and nice things looked. When were those school built? Perhaps we should send some board members out there to see how modern schools are built and what they look like.

The ideas that students can learn while actually DOING instead of sitting and being passive learners surely would exciting to any student. My senior (at another local high school) complained that his Chemistry class was so restricted due to the risks involved. Their experiments ended up being so monitored and limited that all of the fun of discovery was removed. I have a hard time picturing students in the halls with power tools though...("Texas Chainsaw Massacre" anybody?)
