Everything is relative. Consider what is temporary vs what is permanent. Take DeKalb County School trailers. Are these temporary? Well, at least around these parts, they've outlasted more that a few superintendents. Some have been in place longer than the prison terms for convicted, previously highly overpaid miscreants running the schools. Often these felons were involved in the facilities failure resulting in the need for trailers in the first place.
So what isn't temporary? Well, the school system's demands for money and more of it. The constant focus on anything and everything except teaching and learning. Incompetence at nearly every level, but most emphatically at the top.
Some say the school system is just too big. Perhaps. But it may be time to ask ourselves if we had no public school system at all is THIS what we'd build at any scale? Do we have to endure this forever?
