How many teachers have to teach during August without air conditioning?

Question

Do you think the students learn enough to make it worthwhile if the classroom is nearly 100 degrees with high humidity?

Yeah, I did get heatstroke last year. I had to be taken home because I was so sick I couldn't drive.

Our district is also rebuilding schools with the federal $$ also. I can't imagine having the units and not being allowed to use them because of the cost of operation. Yikes! How depressing! I will be retired before our buildings start opening up for transfers so I guess I'll never get to have air again. Luckily, the few buildings we have that are a.c. they do use it.

I went to school in buildings without air also but we didn't start at the beginning of Aug. We didn't start until after Labor Day and by then most of the worst of it was over. I think this is the worst part of year-round schools.

Answer 1

That is the one reason that year round school would not work. Unless the schools are air conditioned, very little teaching and learning will occur during the summer. Rooms at100 degrees are dangerous to the health of both teachers and students. Ridiculous!!

I hope you agree.

Answer 2

It is my guess that there are more teachers that work without air conditioning than do. The school districts that I have been in in my area are new schools built by the state with local funding coming from the community members. Air conditioning systems were put into these brand-new schools. However, because of cost, it is too expensive to run the air conditioning systems in these schools. The units are available for use, just not being used. When I was in school, we did not have air conditioning. The windows would be open and the fans would be running. It was miserable at times. To answer your question, I do not think students are able to concentrate and learn with it is hot inside the classroom. It is too uncomfortable. All the students can think about is how hot it is. I am sorry to hear about your heat stroke. That is terrible.

Answer 3

lots relies upon on what variety of summer season there will be this coming year. it rather is powerful warm in considerable Europe in the process the summer season, (recently nicely up above the intense 70s!!) even though many homes have thick partitions, which does shop the interiors cooler. even however, in case you would be in a known house, this may be confusing, relatively if he's going to be close in there in the process the sunlight hours, on his very own. of course you may, like us interior the united kingdom the place very few properties have a/c (subculture marvel whilst we got here dwelling house from Canada!!) stay to tell the story with followers, retaining the drapes closed on the nice and comfortable part of the dwelling house, ice in water and so on, yet i might make some enquiries with regard to the area re air-conditioning interior the home you would be in, until now i desperate to take him with you. He may be greater effective left with kin/friends, while you're over there, if purely for a year.

Answer 4

Probably not many. I never attended a school that had air conditioning. We had to stay no matter what the temperature got to. The students don't learn anything in today's Public School to make attending it worthwhile to begin with! ....Forget the temperature.

Answer 5

Yeah, they do learn enough, but that just depends on whether or not your a good teacher or if the student is a good listener, growing up with it always being hot in my class room didnt really affect what i learned or how i learned it.

Answer 6

Don't you know that school air conditioners only work in winter, and their heating units only work during the summer?

It's Murphy's Law of School Environmental Systems.

Answer 7

what? Why would you teach in a 100 degree room? is that legal? heatstroke, anyone?

Answer 8

Whoa... I know I couldn't do it (learn or teach).
