The above is a picture of our teacher's lounge, which does not resemble most in United States' schools that have extra funds to toss into rejuvenating niceties such as water coolers and cooking magazines. There is one table to be shared by a dozen teachers, no coffee maker or refrigerator, and no comfortable chairs. But the floors are perpetually buffed to a high gloss and the walls are speckled with the smashed innards of countless annoying insects.
