[quote=Anonymous]The problem is safety and that the other facilities at school can't accommodate the bigger population. From a safety standpoint, if a first grader needs to go to the bathroom they leave the trailer and walk outside the school grounds to enter the building or the door is propped open. Most first graders don't wander off or get lost but they are outside without supervision. The doors being propped are another issue. The lack of an intercom means that the teachers and kids in trailers don't get emergency announcements until someone walks to the portables. If the library, art room, gym or other shared areas was built to facilitate a much smaller # of kids then the kids just get less of these activities. It also affects field trip choices when the grade population is much larger than anyone expected several years earlier. The schools don't have the budget to send 5 classes to wherever when they had always planned for 3. [/quote]
