But the on again off again scenario sounds exactly like my school as well...except that the downstairs new wing had yet to have real problems but the upstairs wing is the issue. <BR/><BR/>I have some fan box or something in my wall (no other teacher has it) and I promise you with no exaggeration that when the air is having a good day I can lean against that wall and get a good massage. Seriously...the wall shakes that much. I've stacked books, boxes, and whatever else I can to muffle the noise and when the kids need a good laugh I start teaching while leaning on it...much like talking into a fan on high speed. I'm still waiting for the fire extinguisher to fall off the wall outside my door and spray the entire hallway next. That's about the only thing that hasn't gone wrong with the new wing.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21615042.post-42308958814322642322008-04-24T19:09:00.000-05:002008-04-24T19:09:00.000-05:00Man, it would certainly be nice to wear shorts to ...Man, it would certainly be nice to wear shorts to work. But no, that's not even close to being an option here.<BR/><BR/>Ray, I'm downstairs in a new wing, and this thing has been off-again, on-again for the past 3 years.

In a new wing, one would think it would work...but this is DISD so I know better.<BR/><BR/>Of course downstairs in the new wing their AC works and there's one teacher with a space heater under her desk. And she uses it during the hottest days of the year because her room is THAT cold.<BR/><BR/>sigh...Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21615042.post-17451271340713019302008-04-22T21:32:00.000-05:002008-04-22T21:32:00.000-05:00Our school heats up like a brick oven and takes a ...Our school heats up like a brick oven and takes a long time to cool down. There is A/C only in certain parts- mine not being one of them and it is beastly hot.

It 84 right now - at 6:30 pm. <BR/><BR/>I wear cotton slacks and short sleeve school "golf Shirts" all school year. The better for climbing under and over desks to fix computers.<BR/><BR/>Good luck next week.

That's worse! I don't know if it makes you feel any better, but I'd much rather wear a tie in the heat than panty hose. At least you can fan yourself with a tie.HappyChyckhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00586840416488114845noreply@blogger.com
