[quote=Anonymous]DC was in a trailer last year and didn't like it very much.  When we had the cold snaps, the trailer was really cold and they had a hard time regulating the temperature.  It was also a small trailer and the teacher rearranged multiple times trying to deal with how crowded it felt.  No bathrooms because each trailer was separate and too small  to accommodate a bathroom, so there was a long walk from the trailer to the closest bathroom, water fountain, or specials.  I think another issue was that no matter how cold  it was or if it was pouring outside, the teacher didn't allow them to use their coats or rain coats because she thought it was disruptive.  I think if the trailers are bigger with bathrooms, they should be fine.  I think DC's experience was tainted by the cramped quarters of the trailer, the rare cold snaps and a very rigid teacher.  DC could be in a trailer again this year, but despite the negative experience last year, I'm more concerned about the quality of the teacher than whether DC is in a trailer again.[/quote]
