I’ve seen a lot of comments about the ‘shoddy’ construction of their schools, but in reality there is a vast difference in the manner of building structure between a school and an apartment/housing complex. Houses and apartments have relatively small rooms and added support walls, whereas schools tend to have much larger rooms with little internal support. Not that that should excuse shoddy design, but it does explain some of the reason a school might not survive while a similar sized apartment will. Just my uneducated opinion.
