In high school when we finished reading Night by Elie Wiesel our English teacher took us outside and showed us the back entrance to our high school.
It looked just like the entrance to Auschwitz.
Combined with the imagery they showed us alongside the book, a lot of our class broke down in tears - not that there wasn’t a lot of that before.
I was lucky enough to have teachers that truly wanted us have a great education. That book will be forever seared into my memory thanks to people who gave a shit.
A lot of schools have exterior walls that are concrete filled in the US, especially true in tornado and hurricane areas. Interior, I think they went to concrete filled for most of them but you would have to check building codes when the structure was made.
A hollow core cinder block wall should be adequate protection from a grenade.
In the case of a school, painted cinder block walls usually (in the US; why yes, our schools do resemble prisons)
