Teachers, I am PLEADING with you to turn the heat up.

Dear Teachers,

I’m reaching out with a humble request: could you please raise the temperature in our classroom? If that’s not possible, could you at least stop blasting us with cold air? It only makes it harder for us to focus. Instead of engaging with your lesson on the preterite, we’re distracted by the cold, daydreaming about warm blankets and hot cocoa. I think you can see how that might impact our performance.

Sure, I could wear a jacket, but let’s be honest—a jacket is just a thin version of a blanket. Here I am, in a practically icy room, wrapped in a jacket while you’re explaining polynomials. Have you ever tried to stay alert in a cold room, with a semi-warm “blanket” over you, while someone explains something complex? It’s a struggle.

Please, just make the classroom a bit more comfortable, and I promise I’ll pay attention. I certainly don’t want to fail this class any more than you want to see me fail. You don’t need to install a heater—just tone down the Arctic conditions so we can all thrive. Thank you!

  1. I completely understand your struggle! It’s tough to focus when you’re doing your best to stay warm instead of absorbing the lessons being taught. A little adjustment can go a long way in creating a comfortable learning environment. Maybe teachers could consider a compromise—like turning down the AC or at least giving us the option to bring in a warm drink during class. Everyone benefits when students can fully engage, and I’m sure nobody wants to feel like they’re in a freezer while trying to learn about polynomials! Here’s hoping for a warmer classroom experience for everyone!
