[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What's wrong with wearing a coat indoors sometimes in January? I do this in my office a lot during winter. It's expensive to heat buildings all the way to 70 in the winter. [/quote]

It was 56 degrees in my class today. The girls were really cold. It is not comfortable at all.  I highly doubt your office has ever been in the mid 50’s. [/quote]

I've worked in mid-50s rooms. It's cold, but it's not dangerous or work-prohibitive, provided you're dressed for it. (Lots of people wear shorts when it's 56 degrees [i]outside[/i], after all.) [b]The kids [/b][b][b]probably aren't dressed for it[/b], though, especially if there are other rooms in the building that are overheated.[/quote]
The kids shouldn't be dressed for it in the first place! Is this a first-world country or what? And we're in suburban Washington, not rural Wyoming! :evil: [/quote]

Eh. Your mother never told you to put a sweater on?[/quote]

[b]A sweater? Would you be comfortable in your house for 7 hours with a sweater on at 55 degrees. [/b]Comfortable enough to work and focus and FORCED to sit still for the majority of it? I sure wouldn’t.  Kids are much more susceptible to temperature changes than adults.

And we pay a shot load of taxes, federal, state, county, and even city in some areas.  No reason any room in any school should be that low. Ridiculous that people are trying to even rationalize this with a “wear an f’ing sweater”  :roll: [/quote]

Yes, I actually do that.

I'm all in favor of schools having functional HVAC systems, but let's have some perspective here. 56 degrees in the classroom is uncomfortable when you're dressed for 70 or 75 degrees. Not life-threatening, not hazardous. Uncomfortable.[/quote]
