Emerson Etheridge said "Reclaiming my time, this gives me an opportunity to really talk about the heart of the issue. We have those extra students in trailers or in closets or wherever, and most cases we do not increase the size of the cafeteria where children eat or the media center or the libraries, as many of us would think of years ago, nor the bathroom where children need to go, all of those extra facilities that teachers need to take. And if they are out in a trailer outside when it rains, what happens to the children? They get wet." @ PoliticalQuotes.com
