What kind of schools do that? I'm not familiar with this at all, man I'd feel weird being in a classroom with a huge mirror.

UMASS Amherst, an "experimental" elementary school for phycological observation. It's now no longer in operation, but for decades it was an elementary school with an upper "secret" corridor with two-way mirrors overlooking each classroom. The understanding between UMASS and Amherst was "We let you use the elementary school, we let our psych students take a look" type of thing.

Each classroom had a row of two-way mirrors about 30 feet overhead [weird architecture, nature of the beast] so even physically it was out-sight and out-mind because "nobody looks up".

This sounds fascinating, but I can't seem to find more information online. Do you perhaps have a link or some keywords I should add to the search query?
