[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I see people complaining about this in some of the schools which are at or over capacity.  What difference does it make if the student has a great teacher and a place to sit while the teacher teaches?    So many people have been taught and learned with far fewer accommodations.  For example, my dad was raised outside of this country and the entire school was in one room and everyone sat on the bare floor.  He now has a Bachelors, two Masters degrees and a PhD.  [/quote]

Because in many cases in this county, it's a Band-Aid covering up the severe overcrowding, severe K-12 population growth/immigration, and severe budget problems in MoCo. 
The "wait list" for renovations of old schools is even longer than the "wait list" for new construction. 
Politicians hope everyone looks the other way and believes they can manage these problems. But they're already failing.

So the trailer rooms are a daily reminder of how MoCo and MSPS is choosing to use your tax dollars. Ask yourself if your child is getting any of those tax dollars or is the focus on something or somebody else entirely. 
And good luck in the super long and super harsh winter this season!
