Student Testimonials
The following are quotes given by SLA students about the state of their school. The prompting question, in most cases, was "What are your thoughts and feelings on the cleanliness of SLA?" All quotes are anonymous. Some quotes contain explicit language.
"On a scale of 1-10 (10 being the worst), somedays it's like a 5, somedays it's like a 12. Like the time, someone pooped on a chair, that was a 12."
"SLA gives off this vibe like, let me go take my ass back home"
"One rule SLA girls need to learn; if you sprinkle when you tinkle, please be neat and wipe the seat."
"Put your pads in the trash!"
"I come to school and I want it to be clean and there's just holes in the walls and food on the walls and I'm like 'does no one else see this?'"
"One microwave had ramen noodles in it for more than a week. It was one of the nice microwaves too, the black one, it made me so mad"
"Why are there holes in the walls the size of our torsos? Why are people shitting in chairs?"
"There's a tampon in the stairwell right now. I said 'is that a tampon? Yeah, it's a tampon'"
"Everything is falling apart"
"The science labs are always grimy and gross and no one cleans up."
"Everyday's a different smell. Sometimes it's good, sometimes it's bad. It's usually bad."
"There's random food in the library. You go into the bookshelves and there's half eaten tacos and half eaten chicken wings."
"Why the hell is this school so filthy?"
"The ceiling tiles are crusty."
"Why is the back stairwell always sticky?"
"It sucks that people don't take care of it, you really want to stay here(in reference to the SRC wanting to relocate our school) you need to take care of it"
"If it's your second home, take care of it!"
"Is your bedroom this nasty?"
"Probably one of the only schools I've seen with holes in the walls made by students."
"Really does not feel professional"
"There's still fake blood on the walls from Halloween"
"Why does the hallway always smell like fish?"
"When I walk through the doors, I feel like i'm being sucked into an abyss that truly represents the filth of the city."
"Being in this environment ruins my mood every morning, without fail."
