Today in Comp Sci we were talking about the school's methods of preventing crime (the impetus here being the protest of the school banning black and hot pink). During pep assemblies the main problem is keeping kids from leaving school to avoid the assembly, and there are narcs (any non-teacher whose job is to bitch at us for wearing wallet chains and for violating the dress code while being non-slutty) all over to prevent this from happening. Some kid said that during the last assembly, he heard a narc's walkie-talkie beep and go:

"WE HAVE A STUDENT BREACH AT DOOR 4-B!!!"

Sound the alarms! (BREEEP BREEEEEEP) Seal all escapes! Engage tire spikes! Dispatch narc forces to sector 4-B! Apprehend the miscreant! Prepare for insubordination! Get the parents on the line, this is serious!

During the school's Code Red video (telling us what to do in the event of a bomb threat and whatnot), examples of "Code Red" level emergencies were given. One was "a disgruntled student in the halls." If "disgruntled students" were that much of a problem, we'd have reduced the school to a smoking crater by now.

Hint: Helpful symbols are > "is greater than", < "is less than", = "is equal to", for example B>C>A
