It's a disgrace that the institution through which our next generation is meant to get grounding for the future and inspiration to fly is so saddled down with dust. Interesting to note that etymologically "inspiration" is about breathing in (or out). It's no wonder then that kids today are stifled in school. A formidable and worthy design challenge!

School system is an institution supported by the government (in most developed areas). It requires visionaries to aspire healthy focuses on education. Yet our dearest society has been heavily based on the ‘wealth of the nation’ from the turn of last century. In the ancient time, regardless of East or West, students are gathered and started discussions with (or listen to) the masters, without any grading that based on Meritocracy. How can children establish interests when there is only a tiny amount of No.1, A+ and100% scores, yet constantly disappointed and fall into the abyss of inferiors? Can designers become politicians and rectify our greater aims?

The US Green Building Council's LEED for Schools is a step in the right direction and changing the business-as-usual practice of designers. But is this really enough? This obviously lays the foundation so to speak for better learning opportunities. It seems though there is still a need for guidelines to better instruct teachers the possibilities of incorporating the building as a learning tool. Inspired teachers inspire students. My two cents
