High school bathrooms – or any public bathroom, for that matter – are icky.
Part of this can always be attributed to the site that owns the bathroom. Maybe they don’t clean it enough? Maybe they don’t care? But at the same time, part of it can be attributed to the people that use these bathrooms. Why don’t people care enough to keep the public bathrooms at least somewhat clean? It’s a disgrace to walk into a bathroom that smells so much like urine that you’d probably die within ten minutes of your visit.
The point of this piece, though, is to speak about negligence on the owner’s side.
For quite a long time, the school bathrooms at BLA had destroyed stalls (these stalls were obviously destroyed by the students, but the administration didn’t do much to change them or didn’t have to funds to, who knows which one it was) and messed up faucets that sometimes fail to work and sometimes overflow. It looks like they’re doing something about it, though. I went into the third floor boys bathroom, and I must say, it looked different. The stalls were completely new and there were two new paper dispensers. I must admit that I was happy to see that. Now if they could just change the sinks…
It’s too bad there’s no real way to punish people who vandalize and damage the bathrooms without limiting people’s privacy. That’s probably why it’s as easy to do as it is. That’s also why people do it, and why people go there to use their phone or talk to friends or whatever. I digress, though, and say that at least something’s being done. I don’t think the students will ever try to do their part, though. They just don’t care enough.
