#3  Shouldn't school staff be aware of this kind of stuff?

I'm only a free man today because of the amount of stuff the school staff could not connect me with. Being school staff sucks, even in Iraq. That's one reason I never even considered being a teacher.

#2  Shouldn't school staff be aware of this kind of stuff?

Most likely. But when Hussein the math teacher gets beat up in his class by Sadrists and the staff finds the custodian's ears nailed to the wall in the break-room, I'd say they'd get the messages and keep their mouths shut.

#1  Shouldn't school staff be aware of this kind of stuff? Is it placed their without their knowledge? Is it buried under the floorboards or something? The pictures of schools I have seen aren't that complicated. At most it looks like they have just a few rooms with minimal service areas and maybe an office or meeting area. Am I wrong?
