A gas has no definite volume either.

The theater being accessible is not the same as the stage being accessible which was the problem. It sounds like they didn't think of one of the participants needing accessibility.

It's a historic dance school, not a traditional theater. It's quite possible that only stairs were built for dancers. It also sounds like they have a solution, it just wasn't ready. Its not ADA to require setup time for accessibility but it sounds like that's been their plan.

Reply to To help new students adapt, some colleges are eliminating grades by Mighty_L_LORT
definitely not oniony. Grades are a whole ass scam and do not at all reflect what you know. The people grading are incredibly inconsistent and a large portion of college grades is kissing ass and the vast majority of what the grade consists of is nonsense that wont ever be useful beyond college.
Think for 2 seconds about the real world. When you have to learn a new skill or be trained to do something for your job does your boss give you a grade? never. you just learn it and do it. The college money machine thrives off of separating students into classes and its just an overall terrible system. It especially profits off of people fighting and doing anything to meet arbitrary standards that have nothing but fiat value. Real educational value is virtually nonexistent anymore.
