I grew up with ground down
became a teacher after my vacation in RVN
34 years in, they decided to build another temporary building at the school
All the plugs were ground up!
went all the way to head of maintenance to ask why--he wasn't sure but said the electricians were mostly from 'up north,' and that's how they did it up there
Soon after was visited by my principal, who told me I was to stop bothering central admin and focus on teaching--by that time I had been assigned as school art teacher--be careful who you P.O. in schools
Retired next year (but at least outlasted the principal who left at the end of the previous year)
