That's well put! I've done quite a lot of work on the frist 2 phases of this project, and it is absolutely appalling what the kids do to the buildings once they're turned over. They absolutely destroy them. I asked one of the engineers why type of recourse he had, and he said none because it would be discrimination to single out someone. Not all of the students are to blame, but from what I've seen, quite a few of them really " **** where they lay". It's a shame to see and an unecessary distraction to those who want to learn.
