On a good note…
On the way back from Cincinnati this Fall Break, I was staring out the window, thinking of what I would do if I won a few 500 million or so dollars. First thing I envisioned was building a futuristic building structure for that hybrid high school I can’t shut-up about. RCHH. Not really a ring to it, but it will do for this post. As much as everyone cherishes the look of the brick building around here, the prison walls will have to go. I have envisioned white walls / glass walls, silver rails (have to change colors for academic purposes), and light grey marbled steps (office atmosphere). Below is a picture of an art school in Singapore that I found on flickr. I like the edginess of it, but I would not use such a design in a 6-12 school probably.

Lunch Room is totally all High School. Football Field, Tennis Courts, Baseball/Softball Fields, Track and Field, etc……Auditorium, A place in which the Drama and Dance clubs/classes can put on plays and dances can be held. A quality Gym. All the indoor parts of the extracurricular activities would also be able to adapt to hi-tech equipment for concerts or professional developments, assemblies.
Students would attend online classes and f2f according to their learning styles. Every classroom will have a teacher, even the ones meant for just online. The instructor in there will be either the teacher themself or an aide to monitor. That is about as far as I have got in my day-dream so far.
I did envision myself in it. My hair was still dyed blond to a point that it wasn’t noticeable, so I must still be in my 30s…lol
