Can't be healthy..

[{CLR} Naillik]

Well yesterday we had an assembly in my school gym, (its very small) which my school managed to pack 350 kids + half their parents + all teachers into it on a day that was 34 degrees celcius with humidity in the VERY HIGH zone for about 2 hours.
All I can say is that by the end, kids were sitting in pools of sweat, you could not sit down without getting soaked with sweat. Not to mention the smell of the air! You'd think they'd open a door for us but no. More than a few kids went home horribly sick, and a ton more just couldn't stand it so just got up and left the school... Isn't there some health regulations for that?

Yea, in the U.S. there are maximum occupancy regulations.

they should get some new ones thou, cuz when they count 300, they count those itsy bitsy people who are 100 pounds! They forget that half of Americans are HUGE!!! I am one on them too!

Someone may want to inform the people at my old high school about these regulations. I recall several occasions where we packed all 1500+ students into our gym that was meant for 800 on august days where the temperature was 90+ farenheit. The only plus was that I was one of the football players on the court away from most of the heat.

Reminds me of that one school in Russia that had terrorists attack it and strap bombs in the ceiling. Schools are weird. During my graduation we had to stand for 2 hours or so taking role call. And the Grad party that night, no communication, bring nothing, and you donno where you going, and give 50 bucks.

Kinda strange...
