3. Electrical

4. • Very few wall outlets
in classrooms (most
have only 2 for a total
of 4 plug-ins)
• Power Strips are used
in every single
classroom for multiple
devices.
• Daisy-chained Power
Strips are sometimes
unavoidable.

9. This is a rubber cover that is supposed to keep the wires together and
unexposed. The students trip on it, causing wires to constantly be re-exposed.
The rubber rips and tears and essentially has no use other than being a tripping
hazard. Rubber originally was screwed into the floor in every room, however,
this proved to be useless as the students tripping on it would tear it from the
screws.

10. Please notice the Ethernet cords in many pictures. Many rooms require 100 foot
Ethernet cords which stretch across rooms, over floors, and underneath heaters.
