First Observations
I've found it interesting as the correlation to my grades and teachers who have posters on their walls. Posters are distracting, making sure that students are properly engaged, you must do everything possible to eliminate every distraction. That's the primary. I do well in classes with nothing on their walls. But that's just "well". Where I do great is teachers who have color in their room. My geometry class in freshman year of high school had no posters on the wall but instead had purple walls. I got a 99% in the class. My current Pre-Calculus class had white walls, posters with words on them everywhere, and I'm one point away from failing because I struggle to focus. Just some food for thought.

In elementary we go crazy on the walls sometimes. Do you think that would have been (or was) a problem for you back then?

Hmm good question! I don't think it ever was a problem, for me at least, just in those harder classes where you have more and more lessons per day you don't want to get distracted I suppose. But I always loved that about elementary, the teacher had their personal touch!
