[quote=Anonymous]Our 2nd grader was in a portable last year. It was fine. The kids really liked having their own a/c and heat, the space was actually larger than their 1st grade classroom. The kids didn't mind leaving to use the bathroom (in fact they probably overused the opportunity to leave the classroom). In terms of security, the door was locked during instruction time and technically parents were expected to buzz in to the main office and show id's there before heading to the portable. The teacher never opened to door to parents unless they showed an id. For bathroom breaks at the start of the year kids were given the pass key to the main building and could go in pairs to the bathroom. There was a whistle on the key to be used as a  "stranger" alarm. After Sandy Hook they changed the procedure so that the entire class went to the bathroom at set times thru the day with their teacher being the only one with the key pass. They also practiced secure in place, and other drills as a result of Sandy Hook. Let's face it even with buzzing into the main office or showing id's schools are not entirely safe - if some one is determined to do something. My DS and I  had no issues with the portable classroom experience.[/quote]
