[quote=Anonymous]I teach in a school where several of the rooms don't have windows (home w/ a sick child today). Fortunately, the kids rotate out and go to rooms w/ natural light. I don't have that luck and so I spend 10 months a year in a windowless environment. As a result, I suffer from seasonal affective disorder and take antidepressants to counter the effects. I also have bright, full-spectrum lights at my desk, but it only does so much. The problem I see in your friend's case is that the principal can't do anything about it. No windows will appear and there won't be additional window-filled classrooms appearing. I'm not sure what anyone thinks will happen if they complain. Some kids will still need to be in that room. I would be more concerned about making sure there was adequate escapes in the event of a fire. Is there more than one door? If not, then your friend may have a case (but I'm not a fire marshall).[/quote]
