Going to the restroom at Carter high school is definitely a journey and a half. The problem lies in the freshman academy. If a student were to be walking down the left side hallway, right across from Mr. Orucevic’s classroom is the first dungeon.
In that bathroom the stall doors open backwards and the first stall in the lineup has a pretty big gap between the wall and the door, so any bathroom goer can either be scarred or try to take a peek. I don’t want people making eye contact with me while waiting for the next stall to open up. It’s awkward and uncomfortable. The second stall’s door is way too high up and if you’re angled just right you can probably see under it. This specific stall, I know from personal experience, opens inwards and the toilet splashes very aggressively at the student that chose to enter the stall. The third stall, which is the handicap stall, is massive and the door is a bit short. If someone was taller than the average height or genuinely trying to sneak a peek, someone could definitely see whoever is on the toilet.
Next is the women’s bathroom right outside Mrs. Parker’s and Mrs. Atchley’s classrooms. One stall works perfectly fine, but the other two are a different story. The middle stall opens inwards and the lock is broken. Whoever enters that stall has to be able to hold it closed or people will be able to enter your “workspace”. The third stall on the far right is almost okay. The only two problems are that the door is a bit too high and the toilet is just like the one in front of Mr. Orucevic’s classroom. It flushes like no other. The user is almost guaranteed to walk out with water splashes on their pants.
Of course we all realize that the school would need funding to fix these problems, but between a new gym and safe bathroom stalls I think we can all see which one is more important. So while the school was renovating the gym last school year they definitely could have given better bathroom stalls. This is also the cheaper option of the two. It would definitely be a win-win situation. Students can feel safe and the school can be glad their students are safe.
