I remember those, they were essentially used for special Ed students. I once stepped inside their class and it was so pleasing being inside. It was clean, lively, and it just felt welcoming. It didn't feel like you were at school, it felt like you were at home. The students were smart and clever they just learned how to do things differently. They had their own section of the school all to themselves. Clean bathrooms that didn't look like a public restroom, lots of green plants, and they had their playground. Keep in mind this was a high school, playgrounds are non existent after elementary school. Overall the students behaved 10x better than the rest of the school put together.
At my jr high they had 2 that was so old that they had LEGIT HOLES IN THE FLOOR!
It was 2 classes that had 2 bathrooms a boys and a girls between the 2 rooms. The boys hall and bathroom had holes in the floor the girls hall was fine but the bathroom had no floor what so ever. The classrooms creaked and smelt of mold. The ramps were so old that nails stuck out them.
See It was habit that when leaving the social studies classroom to grab the handrail and swing down to the ground under it. EVERY ONE DID THIS. So one day I ask to be excused to go to the bathroom. Because how the building classroom bathrooms were you had to go outside to the main building. So I did the ramp handrail thing and went to the bathroom and came back walking up the ramp. I sit in class and the teacher is reading out a book than looks at me and ask ARE YOU OK??
I say yeah why?
Her and other students say YOU ARE BLEEDING.
I look And down my left leg my jeans are soaked in blood.
She didn’t give me a note she just said go to nurse now can you walk do you need help?
I say I am fine.
I get to the nurse and she says right away O MY GOD ARE YOU OK?
Turns out I ripped my knee open on a nail head.
The nurse just put a butterfly bandage on it and sent me to class.
WITH BLOOD SOAKED JEANS AND A KNEE THAT NEEDED STITCHES AND I NEEDED A TETANUS SHOT!
When my mom and Dad saw me at home my Dad threw a HUGE fit he threatened to sue the school. My mom called the principal and nurse and chewed them both out. Lol my mom is where I get it from lol.
My Dad just would of beat the crap out them he was so mad. I NEEDED 4 stitches but the doctor told me that they could use liquid stitches which was easier.
But still had to get the shot.
Less than a week later the ramps were gone and metal ramps leading to the classes where placed there.
I teach in an elementary school. We have 6 of these. Takes up a lot of playground space. Our school should just be rebuilt but we’re pretty far down the list
My school had these and they were used for the consistently down-prioritized classes of art and music. We kids didn't care, and it kept our horrendous recorder tootling away from everyone else!
Yo I remember when the trucks came in and my class watched as they unloaded and assembled it from two halves. It was hella cool. Also at the time, there was a cat that hung around under the classroom since it was raised. After the classroom got taken down, never saw the cat again :(
They were the Sp.Ed buildings when I was in school. I remember having to do community service with my class by going in them. Smelled like poop and crayons like a daycare.
