The ones I went to school in were nowhere near as nice looking on the outside as the ones in this photo.
Ours had HVAC, unlike some of the other comments, but where I live in the USA we have laws regarding the minimum and maximum allowable temperatures so I guess that’s why. Still sucked because these things would get uncomfortably hot and muggy during hot weather, but at least we were out of school most of the summer sparing us from the worst of it.
On the other hand, our “mobile classrooms” didn’t have bathrooms and only one tiny window that doubled as a fire escape.
The communal bathrooms were on the other side of the school, so the teachers would be very choosy about who they’d let go and what reasons qualified during instructional time. Scheduled bathroom breaks meant the whole class walked over to the restroom area and everybody had to go all at once.
There was a water dispenser machine with 1 oz paper cups (super tiny, basically a shot glass size) and there was a ridiculously low and strict limit on how many “cups” of water each student was allowed each day (I don’t recall, but maybe 2 or 3).
Anyway, I have some family still living in the area where I attended school back in the ancient times whose kids who go to that same school. 30 years later and it is still basically a trailer park of mobile classrooms. So, it seems several generations beyond just 80’s and 90’s kids get to experience the joy of these things!
