Hostile Design in Schools A few particular examples come to my mind when I think of hostile design in schools. The first comes from my own career when a colleague recommended that I join her and issue homework, tardy and materials slips to student who are in violation of our expectations. Participating annoyed my students and left me with a sinking feeling that I might be doing more harm than good. Soon after, I quietly quit, likely because I didn’t have the vocabulary to explain why I didn’t like what was happening. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/64cf43f1fee5155fd6df1030/c16aa405-3fea-4715-be40-9aaa44eca005/hostile+design+cans.png Hostile Design - Hostile Design in Schools The second example comes from my own childhood. A teacher I had as an elementary school student punished those who didn’t turn in their homework, those who had behavior problems and other offenses by moving their popsicle stick from the recess can to the detention can. I often forgot my homework, making those cans with student names on sticks a focus of my dislike for school that year. This left me with no choice one day but to take action and get a recess that I desired… for that story, please check out my book.
