1. Standing in front of your students as you are dripping with sweat makes you look hardcore and badass. They won’t mess with you.
2. The excessive heat will make even the most psycho students mellow out.
3. Detox as you teach! Just sweat out all those toxins that you’ve built up stressing about the new school year.
4. Let fresh air filter in through the lovely windows. Think about it, if the AC was on, you would be sealed in a classroom with 25 sneezing, sniffling, unsanitary teenagers that may not have even bathed today!
5. You can actually hear the bell.
6. It is the students’ first test in concentration as they try to study while the giant construction trucks rumble by below. Additionally, speaking over all the outside noises will help you with the projection of your voice, in turn, making you a better teacher.
7. Working without AC is soooooo much more enjoyable than grading final exams while someone is jack-hammering concrete directly above your classroom.
8. When you head home after school, it is much easier to accept the fact that your house doesn’t have AC either. This can help you avoid fights with your husband on the subject of buying and installing an AC unit.
9. In the early morning and late afternoon class hours, positioning yourself in the correct window area will help you improve your suntan. (Depending on which side of the building you’re on.) Who wouldn’t love to get that sun-kissed look and be PAID to get it!
10. Eventually, when the AC is turned on, your threats will carry true weight and scare the students into behaving. “If you don’t get quiet right now I am going to shut the AC off!!! You do remember the temperature of my classroom the first week of school don’t you? I swear I’ll turn it off right now!” And everything will fall into complete order.
