OK, I'm just going to put it out there, OP.

My children, now teens and tweens, always found the walls of their classroom WAY, WAY too distracting. There's always too much on there. It's visually confusing and not aesthetically pleasing at all. For my child with ADHD, it was worse than that - he couldn't find anything that the teacher said was on the walls, because every surface was covered by posters and pictures and admonitions! It made functioning in the class harder than it should have been.

So by all means, ask the Principal, ask the PTA, and inquire as to whether you have a sister school who can help. I was a PTA board member for years at my children's elementary and we donated to our lower-income sister school. Your administration should not be leaving you in the lurch like this.

But please also think about the beauty and calm of empty surfaces. Your students will thank you.[/quote]

+1 Less is more. DH and I walked into our kid's parent teacher conference and before she even opened her mouth, we knew what that problem was going to be. I got dizzy just being in the room; it was really overwhelming![/quote]
