[quote=Anonymous]Even just looking at our (one-block) street, it's insane how fast demographic changes. One year, it's all babies, the next it's all toddlers, then it's all preschoolers etc. If our block doesn't change radically in the next couple of years, it'll be about half a classroom of middleschoolers in a few short years, maybe with a late-arriving preschooler thrown in here and there. The point I'm trying to make it this: The demographic fluctuations that any bit and piece of the city is subject to, within a 9 block square, or even a 16 block square, area are huge. I can totally see a city's point in saying that mobile classrooms are a much better way to deal with such fluctuations. Calling them trailers really doesn't do anyone justice. Deal calls the "cottages". They're not the end of the world! Even better would be to design the feeding patterns in such a way that they automatically adjust to such demographic patterns.
And let's not forget that the market can also get working here. If you don't like an over-crowded school, then cash out and buy yourself a house a few blocks over in the Payne district. Or apply OOB to less crowded schools, or go charter. It's not like there aren't any options![/quote]
