Say goodbye to crowded hallways. Getting to class can now be instantaneous.
Brentwood High School has invested in 20 teleportation pods to make the transition between Ross and Sonderling buildings easier for students and staff.
“The teleporters will offer a quick and easy way to get from one room to another without any of the issues that were making students, and sometimes even teachers, late to their next period class,” said a high school administrator. “This change will also ensure that incidents will be reduced heavily since every teleportation station will have security to regulate their use.”
The teleporters will require that students and teachers scan their ID cards to proceed for security purposes and to confirm their identity. The company Pseudo Inventions created and manufactured these teleportation devices from the ground up. It was funded by sixteen different private organizations that suspiciously liquidated all their assets after the purchase of these teleporters.
That purchase of $10,000 was made by the Brentwood Board of Education with additional costs provided by elementary schools via fundraisers for just 20 teleporters. With a price that high, students and staff have been cautioned to be extra careful with the equipment that powers the teleporters.
These machines run on physics and hard to find sciencey atomic stuff that the editors have no idea how to type or pronounce, showing why each individual unit was around $500. The pods have received criticism from some parents who would have preferred to see those funds used in alternate ways.
“For $10,000, the district could’ve used it to improve the school’s infrastructure and lunch options instead of wasting it on big tin cans,” said one parent of a high school student.
Meanwhile, students who plan to use the teleportation pod are enthusiastic about the transportation assistance.
“I’m glad the school is finally taking our excuses for being late seriously,” said Sam Tyre, a junior. “These teleporters are definitely going to help my grades in my classes.”
With the next school year fast approaching, it’s unclear whether other school districts will be adopting these new scientific inventions over the summer. What we know for certain is that many students may have to change their routes to class or create brand new excuses for their lateness.
