  • Indeed!  How times have changed.

    My past educational experience has been seeing posters on walls that were relevant to the academic content of what was taught.

    Chemistry classes had wall charts of the periodic table.

    Geography classes, maps of the world and countries.

    Or work done by previous students.

    Now..  it's all political and government ideology.
