Just incase you refuse to believe how bad things are

We were emailed last week asking Teachers to avoid turning lights on in classrooms.

That's not really too terrible is it? Surely that's a good thing from an environmental pov? I'm not sure that tells me things are terrible though I don't doubt for one moment that they are

No it was done initially from a cost savings POV with environmentalism tagged on at the end. Its bad. Children need light to read, we all do.

I think our school is doing the same. I’m of an age where my eyesight is bad anyway so when the lights are finally out on it’s like Christmas!!

We've been told the heating will go on in the classrooms for a short time early in the morning to "take the edge off". ❄️

I was teaching over 15 years ago and we were told this, alongside the projectors, and opening the windows when the heating is on. This is nothing new.

Ha most of us are menopausal that no opening windows thing would have been laughed at

Our CEO said we couldn't have the office heating on until October but everyone ignored him anyway and put it on. I sat there baking to death !

The only time the lights were ever on in my primary school in the 80s was when it was raining?

Lights in the daytime are usually unnecessary, surely?
If you/the children can't see well enough to read, thats a different issue, of course.
