Mediocrity and Nanny-Stateism

It's amazing how much the world is declining into mediocrity and nanny-stateism (some word I made up). Today my friend Lauren and I tried visiting my old school but we couldn't attain a visitor's pass because we have to book in advance. I understand that we shouldn't interrupt teachers while they are teaching but the school have to protect themselves. Security issues and all that. Welcome to the 2000's. Please keep your possessions with you at all times as you are now entering unchartered territory.
