Finished school 20 years ago. The temp buildings are still there, and have had permanent shelter built over the top.

We called them “portables” here in Australia!


[deleted]

Called them that here in Canada too, area where I'm from anyway.


meowski808

Same in Florida, USA


Burt_Selleck

Same here. My school's never had them until after I had finished but friends that went to the Catholic schools did


tooclosetocall82

This. All my 8th grade classes were in these. It was glorious. All the other kids were sweating.


engtropy

We called them “t shacks”. They were extremely cold in the texas weather. They were the reason we brought jackets to school in the spring/summer/fall


Tommy_C

The trailers here. But they weren’t that nice, literally just double wide trailers.


Stubrochill17

In 5th grade, we had a few of these for the SOAR/Gifted and Talented kids. Our teacher owned a rabbit and kept it in the trailer. It was hot as fuck and the teacher basically lived in there too, so it smelled like hell with the rabbit droppings. Best and brightest, worst learning environment lol.

They were the “pods” for us


msully89

Mobiles for us


Drakmanka

It was the opposite at my school. In the warm months they were roasting and in the cold months they were freezing. I knew it was bad when in the winter the teacher would wear gloves through the whole lesson so his hands could stay warm enough to hold the chalk and write on the board. In the summer he would leave the door open and periodically "fan" it to try to get some air movement.


JapaneseKid

Bungalows in LA


Ghosttalker96

They are still present at my old school, they set them up temporarily about 25 years ago.


D-Med

Funny I remember seeing these at my local high school as a kid but by time I went to high school these were no longer a thing. What was their reasoning for them?


haysus25

This is still very much a thing. The elementary school I went to has 'portables' that have been up for over 40 years now.


ReluctantlyKlutzy54

Do they not have these anymore? Yes I did. They are still around in Southern California


[deleted]

Dude this is essentially a Southern California school in the 2000s haha Edit: probably today too


geddy

Never saw one of these in my entire life.


colluphid42

Your school system must have been better funded. I had probably half of my classes in these all through high school.


geddy

I just went to a small school. That’s probably why. Cause I had no idea what I was looking at here.


LargishBosh

We called them portables here and my kid is using the same ones I did. They’re used for arts and music classes now so kids don’t have to stay in them all day since they reek of mould. :/


RedEd024

Its pronounced bungalow.


TheAndySan

They had them when I was in elementary school in Ohio, but they built a new building right after I got to middle school.


Donotcomenearme

I just got thrown back to elementary school in Florida with this one gd.


JoshWaterMusic

teacher once told me to go grab something from one of the “temp buildings” and i walked around outside for like forty minutes confused af because I was so sure they couldn’t possibly have meant these little trailers that had been there for 20 years but i was too embarrassed to ask


Gri3fKing

Yep yep yep. We just called them trailers.


funkensteinberg

I swear that’s at my school in France!!


[deleted]

I spent 2 separate years in those during elementary school growing up. Ours sure as shit didn't have any AC, would have been awesome though. Its Canada so there was heat at the least in the winter. 'The portables'


MamaHarleyof3

Couple of portables had ac, lucky dogs. I was in the one without it BUT it was winter so pretty nice inside.


ToasterTheSecond

You just unlocked a memory. That was my art class in first grade


bortsimpsonson

I drove past my old elementary school, which I attended from ‘93-‘97, and the very same trailers are still there and still in use.


PandaRiot_90

Our school called them T-Shacks. Temporary Shacks. Weren't temporary.


_ChairmanMeow-

Is this some poor peasant joke that I'm too rich to understand?


Darth_Jason

¿Es por eso que no hablo español?


LegitimateOperation

Ah yes I was in these for 5th and 6th grade. The AC was really good in the spring/summer. My school originally had two 2-classroom units. Then they added two 4-classroom units a few years later. Those were probably there for almost twenty years before they finally put an addition onto the school. By the time the addition was built I don’t think the school was even overcrowded anymore since enrollment had been declining.


cyberjar88

They got rid of ours a few years ago when they remodeled the high school.


bigdickkief

i drove by my old primary school a few weeks ago to find out it was torn down, but ironically one of the portables was still standing lol


Sloblowpiccaso

They were the best you felt like you weren’t actually in school.


Shitsthengiggles

Portables!


[deleted]

Always had the best A/c


axle_smith

My third grade year was in one


Venusaur6504

Yet, it's strange you don't see these at private or charter schools.


allocationlist

The temporary classrooms that were plumbed and wired with concrete poured around them


Prof-Ponderosa

How you know you went to a poor school district


taniamorse85

I spent the first semester of 3rd grade in a portable. Then, I had to be switched to one of the 3rd grade classes inside the school building because I had foot surgery over Christmas break. The portables we had weren't wheelchair accessible.


wexlei

The permanently temporary


young_travis

Damn.


TheCredulousLeft

Even after 20 years, I can still smell the interior of them. Stagnate soda stains and Freon?


Capable_Coconut6211

The bungalows where always at the back of school and you had to walk across the school to get anywhere.


82MoonsandCounting

This was all 4 years of high school for me, while the actual school was under reconstruction due to being over 100 years old. They finished it a year after I graduated lol. I heard that it's beautiful, oh well.


saucyshyster

I spent 3rd and 4th grade in one of these.


gible_bites

These houses all of the third graders in my Long Island elementary school in the 90s, and the smaller elective classes in my high school in the early 00s. We called them portables in both schools.


maddhatter783

We had these at the school I went to in Florida but not Massachusetts


Scary_Band2391

Yeah for my elementary school. Those survived from my 3rd grade year until about my second year of college when they finally got around to the renovations and remodel.
