Ever think about how strange it is that — on a purely aesthetic level — schools for children are such dismal, ugly spaces? It'd be impossible to repurpose a typical school for any other business purpose at anywhere near the local market rate; people feel icky just standing in one

Those still look... awful to me? Same dim, windowless, Spartan-yet-cluttered situation, except a rainbow vomited all over it

Well, they probably have windows but you get glare if they're in the photo so most don't include them. Anyways, a lot of elementary teachers have to pay for their own materials, unfortunately. Often not enough in the budget for a giant pterodactyl or vaulted ceilings
