A Hurricane of Cyclones

As I note below, the new portable has brought with it the prospect of new fences; they're apparently being installed around the air conditioners on either end of the portables, between the building and the older portable (also, apparently, to protect the air conditioners), and then along the crest of the hill between the artificial turf field and the old portable.

Now, I understand in theory the need for protection / control of students in certain areas (though it seems to me that if the point is to avoid damage or graffiti, an appropriately placed set of cameras are just as likely to be successful). I also understand that chain link fences are cheap. But they don't look particularly nice. And when you start adding them up -- around these portables, around the softball field, and now -- as I've learned -- on top of the already-existing chain link fence around the Wilson baseball outfield (they're going from a 5" fence to a 10' fence), it starts to look like this:


...and that just doesn't seem very nice.
