The venture was directed in the Achievement First Endeavor Middle School, a contract school in Clinton Hill, Brooklyn. Paula Scher and whatever remains of the Pentagram group (one of our 10 Most Innovative Design Firms), officially experienced with open spots because of undertakings like these library paintings, handled the ordinarily beige universe of lockers, tile, and block, and transformed it into something splendid and striking. The change is quite simple–no significant development was attempted, and the venture for the most part comprised of enormous, clear representation everywhere throughout the school, from the dividers to the cafeteria, the rec center to the stairwells.

    Lynda Barry shares a memory in the narrative essay “The Sanctuary of School” (New York Times 2 Jan. 1992). Ms. Barry recalls her unstable home life as a child and how a school became a sanctuary for the 7-year old. In it, Barry details a walk to school and uses the people she encounters along the way to define her sanctuary.

Lynda Barry’s home life has led her to feel “neglected” and “unnoticed” (Barry 10) Following another night of her parents arguing, Lynda Barry “snuck” (1) out of her home to go to school, in a panic, and in the dark−to avoid…

There is not a motivation to encourage them to take highly demanding courses, and since they are new in the system, they are unable to complain for something different. In addition, even if they complain, they are excluded from the option of taking a harder class because of the English level they can handle. The argument is unfair for those who excel in mathematical and scientific ability but lack of English proficiency.…
