Whiteboard Walls

Think about school. Now think about how so many classrooms are decorated. Remember first grade and the plain desks and plain walls? What about third grade, same plain desks and plain walls? Middle school? High school? You get the picture, it's usually plain.

What if classrooms were decorated like so many of the cool, productive and successful businesses! Google, SAS, and IBM are well known for their hip designed campuses, emotion stimulating wall paints and comfortable and cushy furniture (no plain desks and walls allowed).

I recently found an article that explains how great whiteboard walls, hanging lamps and comfortable furniture makes for a great work environment. 
Now think back to what school could have been like if you were allowed to write on the walls, lean back in your chair and work facing the windows!!
