Most often #schools and #trustees go ahead and have this idea of what works in #education. They spend hours working with #educationdesign architects who might not be #teachers or #educators designing schools. The benchmark might be a distant school they saw and were impressed by in another state or country! They begin to design and create a school that looks good, architecturally different and perhaps just bigger! They know that #parents go and fall for the #optics such as land and building, swimming pools and granite! While this is very important ( environment) and I do not want to take away from any of it especially for those who have it... I would also want to encourage more schools across the country #boisar #palghar #dahanu to come to parents and get them to help inform #schooldesign This holds true! #circleofinfluence The Circle India helps schools owners see the power of community participation in school design! After all the school is a community of learners for the community! Its OWNED by the students who are its inhabitants! Judging a school solely by its buildings is like buying a car model solely for its paint. If this is the yardstick most parents are going to follow then it will be automatically inform school management to optimise for the hard optics that might effect parent decision rather than core educational gain!Using the SMC and the General parent community in the area of redesign and re-imagination will reap benefits that are truly appreciated and necessary and contextual for the community its intended to serveIf you are around then register at bit.ly/boisarparent and show up for our children! #boisar #dahanu #palgharLt.
