        That didn’t really happen tho.

        The problem with 3rd class passenger not getting to the lifeboats was that the boat deck was accessible to I class, II class and ships crew. The III class folks were completely unfamiliar with that part of the ship (and parts leading to boat deck - the whole superstructure). At first some officers were mentioned to have enforced class segregation between areas but that was also a time when people went back to their cabins because “this ship is unsinkable, nothing bad will happen”. When it became clear the ship is doomed the III class did reach the boat deck but already most life boats were launched.

      This is almost certainly because of the social media trend to destroy public bathrooms. Not “teehee I pulled out a lot of toilet paper” but “I body slammed the air dryer until it broke off.”

    My first thought is that’s crazy and way overboard. My second thought is what have y’all been doing to the bathrooms??

    being an adult now, it’s so weird seeing how schools were so overly punitive. why not treat kids decently like in college early on? even in kingergarten i’d understand ‘you can use the bathroom now if you want but either way you have to learn the alphabet’

      Are things like this standard practice in the US? When I was a kid we were allowed to urinate and defecate when the need arose.

        i mean most teachers will make you ask, which is more of just letting them know you’re going, bc they’re not gonna stop u unless they’re in the middle of explaining something

      Extremely charitable guess: they want it to be open to prevent the spread of germs slightly (so nobody has to touch a door), but need the option of closing it after school hours to prevent vandalism.

      It can still meet barrier free when open? That’s the only thing I can think of. Not sure why they need to lock it in the first place though

        High schools in my area have been locking bathrooms and removing doors for decades. Any other public place would be fined into oblivion, but they get away with it
