As if it isn’t hard enough to convince my children to go to school every year, every month, every single morning… I feel as though the school really isn’t helping me out. I spend so much time trying to persuade them that public school is really important and they need to take it seriously, but it sure doesn’t seem like the administrators at their institution feels the same way. Why else would they refuse to make minor changes that would vastly improve the quality of the building and encourage the children with added indoor comfort during their learning? I mean, from what I’ve heard, the school doesn’t even have modern indoor air quality control. The old building is operating a central heating and cooling system that was installed with the building way back in 1925. That means this heating system has been in operation for nearly 100 years at this point! The AC system was installed some time back in the 1970’s when indoor cooling systems were brand new technology! Both of the air temperature control systems seem to barely operate at this point. No matter if it’s winter or summer, the school is always stagnant and uncomfortable. My kids continually tell me about their indoor discomfort; whether they’re sweating onto their math homework or shivering through spanish class. I have trouble taking them seriously, but I’ve experienced the same wild indoor temperature during my frequent visits to the principal’s office. It truly is uncomfortable and hard to endure. As if public school isn’t bad enough, this lack of modern HVAC equipment also puts kids at an unfair disadvantage.
