It is appealing but one thing bothers me.... the rooms are starting to look like classrooms in a school rather than a home. It also reminded me of a public library! I've seen a few 'school rooms' designed for younger children that resemble day care centres. I know my husband would hate for our home to start looking like a schoolhouse rather than a home. I suppose it is the motivation behind setting up a room like this - is it to make mum feel better, she feels validated and doing 'proper school' if her home looks more like a classroom and she has tons of educational resources on show?<br />Most of us do not have a room of that size to turn into a 'school' room. No reason why the world map can't go into a child's room, posters of eggs could be in a living room or hallway, baskets of shells in the bathroom - so the whole house essentially becomes a learning environment without all of the 'educational clutter.' I would pick out elements from these pictures to inspire me but not allow myself to feel inadequate or that I even need to have an environment like this to teach in and if I had the space and money would I do it? Hope I have not thrown a spanner in the works but wonder if any other home educators are bothered by the trend I see for 'trendy' school rooms - is Pottery Barn to blame? I think some of the pics around are from catalogues and are not real homes!<br />You have given me much food for thought today Saminda!Ann at eightacresofedenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15524581927752695509noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-475201918521869938.post-66381120845279381462010-08-19T06:18:23.690+10:002010-08-19T06:18:23.690+10:00That is fantastic!That is fantastic!Vichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13319109107003865015noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-475201918521869938.post-53931254904920821392010-08-18T15:42:34.153+10:002010-08-18T15:42:34.153+10:00Wow!
