It seems ridiculous that Hogwarts doesn't have any kind of PA system, even schools in the 90's had that.

Also, basically no kind of preparation for disasters at all even though they were in the middle of a war 10 years ago. They didn't even do head counts.

The wizarding world doesn't keep track of muggle accomplishments.

They have pop-top soda cans and a form of viewing screen scry on the desks of a large classroom.

I believe this was specifically put there by Quirrel, who does keep track of muggle accomplishments.

Sounds like how everybody is afraid of terrorism but few have any sane preparations.
