I've been out high school for six years. When I was at PV, I took a class in a janitors closest, I took two classes at the same time without guidance finding out (one at MECC, I worked with the teacher to do work), and I took chemistry in a chemistry lab that was unusable. It was so bad that Virginia Tech had to send a huge truck down once a month for us just to do experiments. The AP History course I took was in a trailer parked out behind the high school. Even with all of that, I think the one that beats everything is the earth science class I took, that class was taught in the same area where I dressed for football practice. So, everybody needs a new school (minus St. Paul). It sickens me that the people from Big Stone Gap are perfectly fine with this, I guess there is more Appalachia in us than I thought.
