Public space/community aspect
Alice Carlson effects the community because it creates learners for the future. Having TCU right next door creates an opportunity for those children to see what college is like. It shapes a generation of children into young adults. And even though the traffic usually annoys most people in the TCU community, I think most of us would agree that it is a beneficial space. It is a place for students to learn and ask questions, just like we do here at TCU. obviously the level of academia is different but it is the same concept, it is a school, made to teach it students. On a formal level, TCU's tax money goes to fund this school, making it responsible to the TCU community.

This is really interesting because the meaning of a school can be different for different groups of people but it is always meaningful. Good observations.
ReplyDeleteI also think this is a good choice and really interesting. It makes sense that not all schools are exactly the same because not all students learn in exactly the same way. The purpose of school and the value of education, however are the same for everyone.
