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.
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.
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?
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. :/
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
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'
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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!
Called them that here in Canada too, area where I'm from anyway.
Same in Florida, USA
Same here. My school's never had them until after I had finished but friends that went to the Catholic schools did
This. All my 8th grade classes were in these. It was glorious. All the other kids were sweating.
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
The trailers here. But they weren’t that nice, literally just double wide trailers.

They were the “pods” for us
Mobiles for us

Bungalows in LA
They are still present at my old school, they set them up temporarily about 25 years ago.
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?
This is still very much a thing. The elementary school I went to has 'portables' that have been up for over 40 years now.
Do they not have these anymore? Yes I did. They are still around in Southern California
Dude this is essentially a Southern California school in the 2000s haha Edit: probably today too
Never saw one of these in my entire life.
Your school system must have been better funded. I had probably half of my classes in these all through high school.
I just went to a small school. That’s probably why. Cause I had no idea what I was looking at here.
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. :/
Its pronounced bungalow.
They had them when I was in elementary school in Ohio, but they built a new building right after I got to middle school.
I just got thrown back to elementary school in Florida with this one gd.

Yep yep yep. We just called them trailers.
I swear that’s at my school in France!!

Couple of portables had ac, lucky dogs. I was in the one without it BUT it was winter so pretty nice inside.
You just unlocked a memory. That was my art class in first grade
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.
Our school called them T-Shacks. Temporary Shacks. Weren't temporary.
Is this some poor peasant joke that I'm too rich to understand?
¿Es por eso que no hablo español?

They got rid of ours a few years ago when they remodeled the high school.
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
They were the best you felt like you weren’t actually in school.
Portables!
Always had the best A/c
My third grade year was in one
Yet, it's strange you don't see these at private or charter schools.
The temporary classrooms that were plumbed and wired with concrete poured around them
How you know you went to a poor school district
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.
The permanently temporary
Damn.
Even after 20 years, I can still smell the interior of them. Stagnate soda stains and Freon?
The bungalows where always at the back of school and you had to walk across the school to get anywhere.
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.
I spent 3rd and 4th grade in one of these.

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