Come on, just don’t be fat, in a wheelchair, or generally any sort of disability that hinders movement.
This isn’t that hard.

Schools here are mostly just there to get you used to jail or a shitty job that makes you hate yourself. Institutionalization.
100%.
Research based education standards are light-years away from what we choose to do, because what we choose to do is based on 19th century attempts to industrialize. Meaning getting kids used to being away from extended family, stuck in a seat for hours, rote memorization, and regurgitation of whatever you’re told.
School never taught me how to actually live and function in society.
Guess what? I ended up poor and going to jail. Guess what? It was the same thing as school only depressed adults, more desperate. Many of the people were kind and just. Good people. They were just institutionalized and thats really sad, on a personal level for me. The way that they carry themselves was heartbreaking to me. I’m very privileged to even sit here and have a good conversation with you.
How to die in a cafeteria fire.
How do they run away when there’s a shooter in the cafeteria?
That’s the neat thing! You don’t.
How many people are expected to go through it in a 10 minutes break?
I dunno. Given the way education is being gutted we could see more of this in the future. It’s a glaring symptom of what I call the prisonification of schools in the US. For a long time schools have slowly been getting less and less funding. Lots of students are hardly getting taught anything in the US. Heck, they even have armed guards in a lot is schools now.
I live in an area where houses start at 3 million dollars, and the school is surrounded by 10 foot high iron gates with iron spikes at the top. I do t have kids but no way I would send my kid there. I already hated school, I can’t imagine what it’s like having to feel like a prisoner every day
They have armed guards because of all the shootings. If America were to work on that, then this wouldn’t all be necessary to begin with.
The only time I ever saw one of these was as the side exit to our local Zoo. However it was part of the fence and right next to this thing was a gate that could be opened by staff (probably for Accesibility and maintenance reasons). Puting this as the entrance to a cafeteria is just useless…
It’s crazy how little dignity we had in school. After being an adult for a few decades, it’s mind-blowing how tightly controlled kids are in school.
I’m only 2 years out of high school and I still saw it while there
Are you sure that isn’t a museum of medieval torture devices? 😲
What school is this? I would think this design would lend itself to someone getting hurt or even killed, hopefully it only rotates clockwise. The only point I can see for this is that once you leave through this door, you can’t go back in… or keep people from sneaking in through this door. Ok, it makes more sense when I think of it that way.
In case of fire, die.
Why? Are you supposed to stay there indefinitely? I don’t get it.
