Schooloscope
REVIEW
Schooloscope is a really nice idea brought together by some very clever people but misses one extremely relevant fact – that school reports rarely provide accurate information, beyond interpretations of official data, about what a school is really like for children to attend. How do they develop? What are the problems teachers are facing? What is the mood of parents? How big is the playground? Is there any green space for children to play on? The questions are endless.
The questions that attempt to understand what it is really like for a child to attend school X are not found in school reports but by meeting and talking with children and parents from the school. Visiting the school.
The data that Schooloscope ‘teases’ out of the ‘dry tables of statistics’ for my son’s school in no way portrays the real issues going on at the school. As you scroll you are searching for real stories.
For this project to really work it now needs to add real stories. Real stories that are updated. A conversation rather than interpretations of data.
Now that is a challenge (but not impossible) and it would turn Schooloscope into a fantastic living breathing tool
The project is an excellent beginning
