The results of school construction should not be judged solely on aesthetic or purely economic grounds. Rather, what is essential is whether all requirements are met in a consistent manner so that the school can be a vibrant and relevant educational institution, which (given that most municipalities are heavily indebted today) should be built as cost-effectively and quickly as possible. Currently, some people are making sweeping generalizations, claiming that independent architects have not contributed sufficiently to this goal. At the same time, they are promoting certain planning and construction systems, which they declare to be particularly "modern." These systems are often claimed, generally and without any critical examination, to produce very favorable results. Actual experience often proves the opposite.
