Peter, you’re going to think I’m a total wimp. I called off today because windchill is -12 and my classroom has no heat. I sit on an outside wall pounded by cold wind. There’s a door leading to my room that also leaks air. I told maintenance and they have done nothing. The school didn’t even call a delay today and I said I wasn’t teaching in an unheated room all day again with no heat. I was sick a majority of Christmas break and haven’t fully recovered. Teaching with no heat yesterday didn’t help things. Do you think it’s unreasonable? I know it’s unrelated but man, I’d think that supplying the basics — like heat in subzero windchills — is a reasonable request to continue teaching. :-/
Thank you for your Info! I appreciate your view. I know many are afraid & I can respect that. We had Covid & it was awful. Students need to be in school. Learning online is difficult at best for some and interacting with friends, their teachers is so important for mental health & well-being. I am grateful for our teachers that keep doing their best even in this non-appreciated, non-supported situation. I have many teacher friends & really hate that parents & administration are always expecting more! God’s love & education are the most impactful & life changing thing for our children/students. Keep up the good work!! You are valued!!
