Act 1, Scene 2

From the text:

They were waiting for us in what they called Number One Classroom. ( Shaking her head ) Honestly, I would rate it as the most bleak, depressing, dingy classroom I have ever been in. Everything about it was gray — the cement floor, the walls, the ceiling. When I first saw it I thought to myself, how in God’s name does anybody study or learn anything in here.
