Me too, on both counts. My old high school was caught up in the midst of a campaign to build a new one, and every once in a while you'd come across a teacher who wanted to impress upon everyone what a deathtrap the old one was. I vividly remember a teacher threatening to throw a match into a wooden supply closet and "the whole place will burn to the ground". The same teacher later sneaked into a windowed closet to smoke, the door locked behind him, and he had to climb out the window and across a gravel-topped roof to be let into another classroom.

They got their new school, but turned the old one into a middle school. What does that tell you?
