A term coined by Joel Spolsky to denote universities that teach only one ’easy‘ programming language, most commonly Java as a means to dumb down computer science education to make it more accessible for idiots.
A university that teaches Java is not necessarily a Java school. A Java school is characterized not by the presence of Java on the curriculum, but by the absence of ‘hard’ programming languages such as C or Lisp that help students gain deeper insight into programming.
Graduates of Java schools are at a loss when presented with a problem that is slightly different from one they saw before.

Joe: Man, Freds code totally sucks. He has SingletonFactoryFactories all over the place.
Jim: Yeah, he's from a Java school. I dunno what idiot hired him.

Get the alternative school mug.A home-based school attended by the Drabble children, especially Penny and Patrick. It is taught by their father, Sergeant Ralph Drabble. Ralph is a tough teacher and often glares at his students when they don't do something he likes. This is the best place to learn how to be a mall cop. So if you think mall cops are pretty cool, check it out and go to Ralph School!
Ralph: OK, kids, you ready for Ralph School?
Penny: Right on, dad! I'm gonna love this.
Ralph: No, no sweetheart. At Ralph School I'm not Dad, its Mr. Drabble, OK?
Penny: (starts crying) But I've always called you Dad.
Ralph: Not in your Ralph School classes. (he gives her a gentle glare) See, Isn't this fun having me for a teacher?
Patrick: This is fun! Best school I know. Especially since you're our teacher!
Ralph: (starts laughing) Yes, this is like mall cop therapy. Ralph School is crazy! Class dismissed! (he glares at them again) Ralph School rules!
Penny: Right on, dad! I'm gonna love this.
Ralph: No, no sweetheart. At Ralph School I'm not Dad, its Mr. Drabble, OK?
Penny: (starts crying) But I've always called you Dad.
Ralph: Not in your Ralph School classes. (he gives her a gentle glare) See, Isn't this fun having me for a teacher?
Patrick: This is fun! Best school I know. Especially since you're our teacher!
Ralph: (starts laughing) Yes, this is like mall cop therapy. Ralph School is crazy! Class dismissed! (he glares at them again) Ralph School rules!

Get the Ralph School mug.Gothic teenagers dressed in trench coats normally wearing all black cloths and black make up. Many times they wear Spiked necklaces and wristbands along with chains and strappy shit. The final way to point out a school shooter is their obscene hair do.
Holy shit, somebody better check that school shooter for shotguns. He might have pipe bombs hidden in his pants!
