The boys and girls packed into its little classrooms look pleased to be there.
Some classrooms look out on to multicusped tracery windows through a screen of sweeping timber arches.
At first glance, their classrooms look like dreary boxes, but two of the four walls are interactive video monitors.
Their school, a shabby concrete building with bitterly cold classrooms, looks out of place amongst Dalian's grand Russian- and Japanese-inspired architecture, and wholly unconnected to the gleaming shipyard.

That's the reform conversation I believe will change what classrooms look like and how learning happens.
