When it comes to schools, people often think of dingy classrooms, outdated desks, dusty chalkboards and the like. ‘Modern’ does not normally come to mind when people think of schools and this can be a real shame when trying to convince children that it is a worthwhile place to attend. By perpetuating this image of boring, grey and dull classrooms with droning teachers, we are inherently teaching children right from a young age that school will be a drag, and that is not always a good lesson to teach. Whereas, bright and colourful surroundings evoke feelings of joy in all of us; so why not encourage children to feel joy while learning new things at school? Which would you prefer, a brand new piece of technology, still in its cellophane wrapping with shiny buttons and untouched surfaces on it? Or a battered and scuffed hand-me-down piece with a bit of old chewing gum still stuck on the corner and a couple of the keys missing; this is essentially how children feel when sitting at the same desks as the children of ten and twenty years ago. Yes, they have their own unique character but new desks provide children a sense of ownership; they are the first ones to sit in those desks, the first to use the new equipment. It feels like an achievement and also encourages a sense of respect for their belongings.
