The point is not what is ideal, but to have a private place to go and change or talk.

I'm not looking for perfect; I'm looking for something that doesn't wind up with me on a sex offenders list. Your area my be different, but in my area I'm arriving at a JH just as class is dismissing. A classroom is a place you could conceivably be walked in on by a student while in a state of undress.

For my money, it's not worth the risk.

I don't worry about people following me to the car for a couple of reasons:
1) Attacks on officials are usually heat of the moment things. By the time I get to my car, they're going to have cooled off.
2) Provided they don't have a gun or a knife, I'm confident in my self-defense ability.
