The Realm of Literacy

Yeah, that's... monumentally dumb. My high school was built in the 70s, and it still shows serious signs of aging. You know, like the classrooms not being big enough to handle population growth, or the air ventilation being so wildly erratic that there were noticeable temperature differences from hallway to hallway, or the fact that the sound system in the auditorium committed suicide during the dress rehearsals of our last show. An 1800s building? Well, for one thing, school wasn't mandatory at the time, so it wouldn't be nearly large enough, there'd be some serious trouble with A/C and heating, and anything other than a basic classroom probably wouldn't exist! Hell, my grandma went to a one-room schoolhouse back in the fifties, and you expect me to believe that this two-screen theater town would have a school, built in the NINETEENTH CENTURY, that could function as a modern high school without comment before now? I missed that before with all the Not Wanting and character idiocy, but that's just breaking the disbelief suspenders!
