(10,302 posts)i.e. temporary classrooms that have ended up in permanent use? You know... the ones that bake in summer and are freezing in winter?
If people want to have schools designed with a single entrance/exit then there's gotta have to be a lot of money thrown at schools to rebuild.

(31,997 posts)There are two doors near my room. People can go out, but not come in. However, glass can be broken and we are on an outshoot. I have talked extensively with my students about what to do and what not to do.
Thank GOD our school year was over Wed.

(3,268 posts)The Cocoanut Grove Fire was a nightclub fire in the United States. The Cocoanut Grove was a premier nightclub during the post-Prohibition 1930s and 1940s in Boston, Massachusetts. On November 28, 1942, it was the scene of the deadliest nightclub fire in history, killing 492 people (which was 32 more than the building's authorized capacity) and injuring hundreds more. The scale of the tragedy shocked the nation and briefly replaced the events of World War II in newspaper headlines.

(82,383 posts)It had two entrances near the front. The shooter shot himself, but could have run out the other entrance; so they closed the second entrance at the advice of some security firm. Like if he had not killed himself, it would be better for him to stay in the building than run out of it.
