Something I like about the school I teach at is how I have control over the temperature control in our classroom, however i guess a lot of educators who labor at other schools and their number 1 complaint is about the temperature control settings, then their rooms are either too sizzling or too cold; Most schools don’t allow their educator’s to control the temperature of their classrooms for efficiency and consistency reasons, however from what I’ve heard from some of the older educators, our school wasn’t constantly like this.
- The principal used to control the heat and air settings for the entire building… One year though, the educators fought for their right to have control over the temperature settings in their room.
If they were going to spend all day teaching in 1 room, they wanted the right to set the temperature control but they triumphant. The principal agreed, but there were a few limitations. Teachers were granted access to their temperature control, but they could only set the temperature between 65 degrees and 74 degrees. This would keep things running efficiently. The clear lock boxes were also required to remain locked at all times in order to prevent students from altering the temperature control! Each educator was given a key to the temperature control lock box and they were responsible for it. If a educator couldn’t follow these guidelines, then the key would be taken from them and the principal would set it himself. I’m so thankful those educators fought for our temperature control freedom today. I like to labor in a room that’s not too sizzling or too cold.
