15 Schooling Structures
From Playhouse-Styled Schools to Academic Architecture:
Meghan Young — Nov 10, 2009 — Art & Design
It's cool to be in school, especially if it's in one of these schooling structures. Teaching the next generation has never been more important. With the world crumbling down around us, we must teach our children in the best ways we can to live responsibly and intelligently. Perhaps one way of accomplishing this is to restructure our schooling structures to make children and young adults to actually want to attend classes.
