Those classrooms are incredible!! Very pleasing to the eye as well. In our town, when the school needs a bigger area they bring in modular trailers...not so pleaseing to the eye.

We had one of these in our day. They were called "Library on Wheels" and visited the godforsaken places that didn't have their own library or access to knowledge. Unfortunately, the librarian/driver soon found out that there is a reason those areas don't have libraries and it's often about money. These portable classrooms will never see the light of day in the areas in which they are really needed and will be toys for the children in the areas where they are not needed.

But that's the way it goes. It's not the fault of the builder of these things, it's about economics, property values, taxes and schools. The poor areas that truly need the influx of quality education end up downloading homework and can't even afford books for children to take home and study with, much less afford portable digital classrooms to absorb extra student spill over.
