Pedagogy & Space

With a Secretary of Education mandating school choice, advocating for more religious and charter private schools, how does this address the towns that do not have the population to support more than one school? With populations ranging from 500 to 5,000 people, rural towns have to provide public schools that are accessible to everyone in their community. The public school system though is far from perfect. Programs such as "No Child Left Behind" have burdened public schools with meeting standards, leading to multiple choice testing and teaching from standardized textbooks. This has resulted in the standardized architectures of schools which do not address shifts in education towards inventive learning. This culminates in a context where rural towns who do not have the tax base to fund typical new school construction are pushed to go rogue and build a new type of public school.
