That depends on your definition of 'poor shape'. I remember visiting an American high school back in 1996 when I was in my senior year, and the principal apologising for the state of the school buildings, adding that they were going to be replaced with a new campus. We thought she was joking, as the infrastructure was better than what an average Belgian school had. You won't find things like olympic sized swimming pools, fully equipped gyms, etc. at Belgian high schools, and many buildings are from the 1950s or 1960s.You can't take the experience you had at one high school, in who knows where, and try and say that is the American School experience. Condition of buildings vary GREATLY from locality to locality, there is no set "mold", and there are more than the fair share of old decrepit school buildings too. |
