Mr. Clean takes the heat

                                                         
As I was walking down the hall I over heard a conversation between the principal and the custodian regarding our room. The heating system in our classroom is unbearable. It is much hotter than the register shows and we have been complaining about it ever since we moved into that class. Mr. Clean, our custodian, looks up the temperature on the computer, in which it shows 70 degrees. Since that's what the computer is indicating, then in his mind, that's what the temperature is.

After much complaining, we brought in our own thermometer to prove it is in fact much hotter than the 70 degree reading. Ours shows 76 degrees. Tack that on with dancing and continual movement you can imagine the sweat dripping from our bodies.

Mr. Clean thinks otherwise and ignores our complaint.
 
 Since we weren't getting anywhere with the custodian, we took our complaint to the principal. He came in and evaluated our room and without even reading our thermometer, he could feel the heat. Out of curiosity he looked at the thermometer and agreed it is definitely what it says it is.

So I'm walking down the hall and I hear:

Principal: "Mr. Clean, you're gonna have to put in a work order to check the thermometer because it's not registering correctly in room 17."

Man to man Mr. Clean replies: "Don't you think the real problem is there are so many woman in that room?"

Translation: Don't you think the real problem is because the room is full of menopausal woman who are always complaining about it being hot because in actuality, they are just having hot flashes?

Can you believe this guy? Maybe we're a tad bit hormonal but we're not stupid. We know the difference between internal body heat and external room temperature.

Anyway, I'm walking down the hall and once I round the corner, I slow my pace so I can hear the principals response.

Being the wiser of the two Mr.Principal says: "No, I disagree. I've been in their room and their thermometer is reading 76 degrees, it is  hot in there. We have been dealing with this for two years now, before the preschool. I need you to submit a work order and have it checked out."

Later in the day Mr. Clean comes into our room with a district person to evaluate the temperature. They both take a look at our thermometer and agree, without saying, ours is a piece of crap and it no where compares to the schools thermometer. What they do have the audacity to tell us is, our type of thermometer is not very accurate.

Remember in reality, we're just a bunch of women having hot flashes.

To humor us and to stay in the good graces of the principal, they decided to adjust the schools thermometer down a few notches to see if it would make a difference.

Good plan Mr. Clean
