I mean TBF, most neighborhoods have a cyclical bump in the number of children. Or did at least. This is more cost effective than having a half empty "new" school in 15 years.
Although I think the current trend is to build bigger schools and bus the kids. So there would be less local variation.
If we weren't so allergic to having adults around campus that would just be a place we could do stuff like ESL classes or EMT certification, etc...
The idea that we can only use schools for kids is a classic first world problem.
Some schools do, but you're right. The buildings are way under utilized.
Well it's not like anything is "cost effective" under capitalism. The system is literally destroying the planet so a few worthless dickheads can have yachts.
Just give the kids a decent building with some windows/AC. It is literally nothing compared to the privilege of actual scumbags. The school-to-prison pipeline is real enough. No need to rush it.
Well then you have the mistake of mostly electing people who went to law or business school to the state legislature. I'm convinced business school is where you go to regain your illiteracy. They mandated that the maximum allowable student to teacher ratio be decreased from 32 to 28. By the next school year.
They had to be informed that 1. even if they went to every university in the state and hired on the spot everyone graduating with an degree in education, and chained all the teachers who were quitting to their desks, they'd still have to hire from out of state. 2. There was not a school in the state that had enough classrooms for that, and 3. The United States and Canada put together did not have the manufacturing capacity to make that many of these trailers in seven months.
Lawyers live in one reality, businessmen in another, neither of which is Earth.
