[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm in DC, and we have portables with bathrooms.  Why doesn't MCPS invest in those.  It seems like the answer to the biggest problem.[/quote]

My kids' school (Viers Mill) had a bathroom portable.  It was essentially a trailer with two bathrooms.  My 4th grader said it got stinky, but that it was like a regular bathroom inside with stalls and a sink and everything.  They finished the new addition to the building last year, so no more portables (finally!) but bathrooms and portables do co-exist, somewhere.

I don't love portables, but they are necessary and not worth getting worked up over, imo.  At VM they had 4th and 5th grade, plus specials and I think some special ed teachers all out there.  It seemed like there were more classrooms outside than inside!  The kids needed a swipe card to get into the building, or there was an intercom with a camera if they didn't have the card.

As far as seeing someone with a weapon and increased danger--wouldn't the same danger exist for someone near the playground during recess?  At least in portables, kids have a locking room to hide in.[/quote]
