[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The portables are all over our once playground blacktop.  No more 4-square, basketball, no recess if it is wet outside (it used to be blacktop only play.)  The lunches start at 10:30am, the school has to have 2-3 of the same assemblies to accommodate the school so authors, guest speakers etc.. usually don't happen anymore.  Less time with special teachers who have to fit in more classes.  Still one nurse aide for 50% more population.  Same staff lounge for 50% increase in staff.  2 kids have to go to the bathroom at the same time and takes 10min (between walking, goofing off) and it always disrupts class. Not to mention putting on coats when it is 20 degrees - just to go to the bathroom!  
....  
So yes, I have a problem with them.  If MCPS planned correctly and built unfinished areas of schools when rebuilding, we wouldn't be in this mess of having 6 portables at our school.  [/quote]

Yes, this.  I don't have an issue with the portables per se, but with what they represent -- which is poor planning and foot-dragging by MCPS.[/quote]
