I voted for my school...
All except #4 apply. Too hot in the winter(after the heat finally turns on), too cold in summer(the AC won't shut off for crap. Just keeps going, even if over the weekend the temp dropped into the 60's, the AC will be on and it'll be cold as hell.). Janitors? They pretty well suck. At lunch they attempt to clean the table even if you are still eating. They also start stacking chairs while lunch is still going on, and a lot of times if you get up to go somewhere and come back, you have to unstack a chair. I'll include maintenence with the janitors. They can't fix anything, and when they try it's right in the middle of classes. While I was taking the MAP test(MO Assessment Program test) there was loud sawwing and hammering going on. I give them credit for attempting to fix the crappy school, but damn, can they not just wait till the weekend or a day off?
Noise. Stupid kids making noise. I hate it. There's always a group of kids in all of my classes that talk extremely loud and have laughing outbreaks and just sound like mental cases, and perhaps they are.
Computer problems. Damn strait. Parkway just loves Apple's crap(sorry Youth Cycler, I mean the crappy Apples..all Apples are crap). So they buy them then hang onto them for many years. They got this school network thingy, but it takes many mins to load after the crappy Apples load, and sometimes the system is down and you are screwed. Like today. I'm typing a report paper on the Rotary engine(I wanted to do the history of Mazda but my teacher said no but said that it was ok for the rotory one...it's all good). There's the media lab which consists of I-macs hooked to the net, and then there's the old crappy macs(dating from '95 or earlier) for the typing lab. So we are in the typing lab. 15 mins wasted trying to get several of em working, and I had to settle for one missing one of the keyboard supports. Then you start typing. There is a HUGE delay from the time you hit the key to the time it prints it, like 5-10 secs, and sometimes even more. So not only was my hand not at the right posture, I was messing up cause I type fast and this thing was lagging to death. Same with the mouse. There are some IBM compatables, but they are limited to some in the library and media lab, and the rest in drafting and around there, and in drafting my teacher put Novell on them cause of me, cause I DLed like 500MB of videos while in that class, even though I was still doing work. They have CD burners too. And he didn't think that I would still go on the net simply by going to "Open" in Cad(cause that's the only program on Novell) and clicking on this server thing which takes you right to the net. I got a ton of detentions from that, and I never went to a single one. I have a detention now for an un-related event in tech for the same teacher, it's tomarrow, and I'll have to be held in the school cause I am not wasting more time there doing nothing.
Parking. Not only are there not enough spots for all of the senoirs, jouniors, and sophmores who can drive, the ones who choose to drive don't always get a spot even if there are open spots. The damn school won't issue parking passes for sophmores even if there are open spots. Did I mention the parking pass is $50? Also in the student lot, the rent-a-cops put these fake $5 tickets on your window if you don't display the little tag. They don't bother to look up the plates and spot number. My bro got dozens and dozens of these, he didn't pay a cent and he graduated without any problems about it.
Also there are some busses that go into the student lot and will park blocking in students cars. We had that happen all the time last year, and we would end up honking, revving, and peeling out around these crappers.
Privacy? LMAO.
Indoor air...filled with contamination from moron kids who don't know how to cover thier nose or mouth when they sneeze or caugh. Also there can be a lot of strong chemical odors and paint smells.
Storage...lockers. I choose to not use one because they suck. The locker they give you is usually on the other side of the school from your classes, and also not only do kids try to break into them, the principles often cut off locks for stupid or no reason.
The school sucks.
I wasn't thinking.
