I’m so thankful those educators fought for our thermostat freedom today
Something I savor about the university I teach at is how I have control over the thermostat in my classroom, i guess a lot of educators who labor at other universitys plus their number a single complaint is about the thermostat settings, and their rooms are either too tepid or too cold, however most universitys don’t allow their educator’s to control the temperature of their classrooms for efficiency plus consistency reasons, from what I’ve heard from some of the older educators, our university wasn’t consistently prefer this. The principal used to control the heat plus air settings for the entire building, then 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 a single room, they wanted the right to set the thermostat but they pleased. The principal agreed, but there were a few limitations. Teachers were granted access to their thermostat, but they could only set the temperature between 65 degrees plus 73 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 thermostat, then each educator was given a key to the thermostat lock box plus they were responsible for it. If a educator couldn’t follow these instruction, then the key would be taken from them plus the principal would set it himself. I’m so thankful those educators fought for our thermostat freedom today. I appreciate to labor in a room that’s not too tepid or too cold.
