Another aspect of sinkholes is a bit later in the book when they talk of Old Charley Burns. Old Charley Burns let anyone build anything without glancing at it. Charley didn't check to see how safe the underground where the building was going to take place was. As a result, the builders had no clue that it was unsafe to build a school - especially one with portables used as classrooms - on the grounds that they chose. If Old Charley Burns had actually looked into the matter as he was supposed to and did not just give anyone a permit to build anything they wanted anywhere, the sinkhole problem might not have happened because either the problem might have been fixed or the school location would have been changed.
