[quote=Anonymous]I taught in a trailer. Some of the trailers are unsafe, and the older ones can have mold and other problems (but the same is true of old classrooms). They are a fire hazard, of course, and also very dangerous in the unlikely event of a tornado. The real negative was the kids having to walk so far to use the bathroom. We had a rule that kids had to walk in pairs, since the trailers were outside with no security, but often the rules were ignored by teachers who sent kids to and from places alone because there wasn't always another student around to walk with them. Ultimately, the teacher is more important than the classroom, though. Trailers are a problem for the whole county, and there isn't anything schools can do to eliminate them. I wouldn't be thrilled if my kid were in a trailer, but I'm not sure what you can do about it. [/quote]
