[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote]NP here. Please let us what you (an adult) think a young kid will feel.[/quote]

I'll bite.  For starters, both of my elementary school kids like running around in fields.  They prefer outdoor recess to indoor recess.  So, and I know this is CRAZY since I'm just an adult and not a 9 year old, but I'm going to guess that the average kid would prefer to be at a school that actually had a field to run around in over one that had its fields covered with trailers, all else being equal.[/quote]

THIS. And whether kids care or not, I don't want them having to wait ten minutes in a line for a restroom because there aren't enough bathrooms for everyone. And I don't want them eating at 10 a.m. or 2 p.m. because the school is overcrowded.

And even if we lose a few minutes moving to the art room, or the Spanish room, or whatever, kids need to get up and go to a different place. It's not ideal for them to be in the same room all day. Also, the homeroom teacher needs some time to work in her/his own room without the kids there. How much planning do you think they can get done at a table in the library while Spanish is going on in their room? It's not ideal. And I hate our "art on a cart."[/quote]
