If it’s an American thing, not in my poor ass town. Never seen these before These are mostly in areas that are in the sweet spot of “poor enough to prevent immediately adding on” and “enough people are moving in that the population of the school district is expanding.” I’ve taught at plenty of poor rural districts that didn’t use these, but it wasn’t because they were able to add on, it was because their population was shrinking so that they had more space than they needed anyway. Whereas my high school was… comfortable? And our test scores were good, and local population was slowly growing. But it still took us several years to raise the levies enough to add on, so we had a couple of temporary classrooms for a while. We had those at my middle school! They were called… the Pods, I think? I never actually had any classes in them, because it was only 9th grade classes that were there, and my year was the year 9th grade got moved to the high school. We had these at my high school, and I’m Australian, so it’s not exclusively an American thing. Canada, too. Thirty years strong -- source link
