[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My classroom windows open two inches, and I’m in a a better position than a lot of other teachers. This isn’t the simple solution people think it is. [/quote]

I haven't run across a single report that discussed how far a window should open, and aside from that, we have portable filtration technology. This is just teachers imagining impossibility.[/quote]
Common sense and the laws of physics would dictate that airflow from a fully open window would provide a better exchange of air than a window open just a crack. Not much imagination required. 
Teachers are “imaging impossibility”. That’s a new one. We must all be imagining these run down buildings we’ve been working in all these years! [/quote]

A crack is different than a couple of inches. And, there's a whole science about air flow in rooms. Try reading a little about it before you make uninformed statements.[/quote]
Yes there is. And you haven’t provided us with a formula for calculating air exchange rates, so I don’t see any evidence that your response is informed. [/quote]

Fortunately we have experts who have already done the work for us, and we have amazing futuristic technology known as "fans."
