[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’m a Swanson house that was never up for a moved. I’m incredibly mad that they are leaving our school SO overcrowded. As a McK family, I should be used to this BS, but it still stings. [/quote]

Did you hear Nancy talk about how nice the trailers are?  It sounds like everyone will want to be in them.  [/quote]

I mean... we’ve  bought them, so we need to use them.[/quote]

Hate to say it, since I hate seeing trailers at my kids elementary school, but the kids and the teachers actually like being in trailers.  They can get out on the playground at irregular times when they want, and don't have the principal always checking up on them. Only downfall is the rainy days walking to the main building.  I think we need to plan to build more capacity, but trailers are not as bad for the classroom as you would imagine.[/quote]

McK parent here.  Trailers themselves are not bad, it's what the loss is in exchange.  Our kids lost a whole playing field, for example.  Swanson lost tennis courts, parking space, field space.  It's the trade-offs.  Not to mention that trailers mean more kids, which means more burden on other parts of the school including cafeteria space, auditorium space for assemblies and so on.  Extra kids also means less options for participation in extra curriculars since more kids are competing for the same spots.
