My Thoughts

I can't understand why anyone would want to break into a school. Most of the equipment and electronics in schools are outdated and most likely used and abused. Not only are they taking things from a school where these items are intended for kids to learn, they are interfering with our educational tools. They obviously do not value their own education or they would not be out at 1 in the morning breaking into a school for a quick buck. Stay in school, break into it.
