the fire alarms in the classrooms are weird. They do not flash in code, like the hallway alarms do, but instead they just flash randomly with seemingly no pattern.
Flashing fire alarms?
Why would you need flashes.
Every school I've ever been at just uses an alarm. Pretty clear when it goes off, it's not mistakable for anything else.
Are there lights for completely deaf people?

almost everyone in my school is a redneck, almost all the boys love working out, own an ipod, and love ps3/xbox 360.

they are newer alarms from after the 1994 ADA rule changes, after that all alarms had to have strobes in case of people with bad hearing. Your school just has an older system is why.

edit: in fact the old alarms (the school was built in from 1958) are still on the walls, but are disconnected.

Indeed.

I wonder what she responded.

I wonder if I was being sarcastic.


Everyone keeps talking about Black Ops and Halo Reach.

Every day at lunch it's "HEY ON TIM IN NIGER OPS HUE" and stuff.

That would explain why.
Different country. Don't really care for the deaf, lol.

Although, generally speaking, I'd imagine that even a deaf person would notice a fire alarm, when there are hoardes of people heading outside and lining up.
Unless they're like one person who manages to get themselves on their own with no one around.

Our fire alarm sucks so badly that it went off yesterday and I thought it was someones phone vibrating on the metal part of their desk

the fire alarms in my school scare me. They have really loud electronic piezo horns with a low pitched tone.


Everyone sucks except the saxophones.

everyone sucked except for the low brass at my old school
