If you’re always either hot or cold in your classes and wondering why it’s so uncomfortable to be there, then you should know people at Miami High can relate to this situation.

Many students complain about how the classroom temperatures affect their learning. Reading teacher Ms. Rabassa says, “If it’s cold and the students are not used to it, it’s going to affect their learning because that is all they’re going to be focused on.”

Junior Mark Hunter says, “I don’t do my work when it’s hot.”

Sophomore Luis Carillo says he doesn’t want to be musty in class.

On the other hand, assistant principal Mr. Arscott thinks that the classroom temperature doesn’t affect the students’ learning. Senior Mark Granados agrees. He says, “It doesn’t affect my learning because I feel comfortable in both hot and cold.”

Students and staff are probably wondering why the temperature can’t be controlled. Principal Mr. Valdes says, “If students had a right over that, they would take advantage of it and argue over it.”

Some classes in Miami High are either hot or cold. Senior Luis Martinez says, “The coldest class I’ve had is Mr. Rosales for history.”

“The hottest class I’ve had in Miami High is Mr. Rivera for weight training,” says junior Nyah Solano.

Classroom temperatures can really affect students’ moods. Junior Sindy Granados seems to be happy with her classes since she prefers the cold and most of her classes are cold.

However, junior Ambro Delacruz doesn’t really feel comfortable in his classes which are mostly cold.
