Glad to see our buildings will once again be articulated, saving us from the horror and embarrassment of having inarticulate buildings. Phew!

I wonder what our articulations per pupil ratio is and how that compares to other districts. I'm also curious how we stack up to the National Standard of "No Building Left Unarticulated" |

Some here have no sense of humor.

Respect is something one earns-- and when lost it rarely is recovered. Unfortunately we have some who have behaved so badly, covertly , and self centeredly that they deserve no respect, even when they do what they get paid damn well to do. sorry...it wasn't always like this. also I'd be thanking the parents for a lot of the college preparedness..without their involvement it doesn't work nearly as well |

Seriously, you Googled "Building Articulation Day" (it's in the URL you posted Einstein '&q=Building%20Articulation%20Day'), found one totally unrelated hit and posted it? Glad to see your perspective, and call for respect. Nice work   You apparently spent a lot of time researching the depths of the subject to come up with an obscure academic paper on it. Hey, if popping a phrase into google and getting a hit satisfies you to "think that 204 does a very good job preparing our students for college.", I say Good for You!!! |

Building Articulation www.greatstreets-stl.org/content/view/442/402/"Building materials, special ground-floor design treatments, facade modulation, corner treatments, building setbacks for upper stories, and facade elements such as TRANSPARENCY, building entries, and other architectural details help define the public realm as a welcoming place". |

The district uses these days to allow teachers to compare curriculum across grade levels. I do understand this at the ES and MS level.
Are these departmental meetings at the HS level...I don't know?

God help us..only in 204 |

Thanks rew for the explanation. it makes sense to have what you explained and is probably a day well spent, but I will go on record that "Building Articulation Day" is quite possibly the most idiotic name I have ever heard. It sounds like something and illiterate person invented to impress themselves (or their more illiterate buddies  Maybe it came out of the federal government. If the purpose is to compare curriculum across grade level, I suppose "Curriculum Comparison Day" is just way to wacky of a name. Maybe it's just me. I ain't quite the grammar cop that many others are. I just like things plainspoken and communication with intent to inform, not complicate or misdirect. Then again, I spend my days immersed in packs of self-aggrandizing academics jockeying to impress each other of things that often mean diddly squat, so maybe I'm just overly sensitive to it. |

The districts I taught in all referred to the days as "Institute Days". Not sure if that's a better or not but I'm with you, ED, I hate the term "Building Articulation Day". What part of a building is being articulated  . It does sound like a made up ridiculous name. |
