LOL no way. That is not happening. Imagine parents already skeptical about schools open, then have their babies cooked alive all day long?Nope.
My coT said the government gave schools a bunch of guidelines on how to operate when schools open. One of them is not operating the air conditioner (because of virus circulating I guess?) RIP this summer.
Summer of 2020 to be the ‘hottest ever’http://www.koreaherald.com/view.php?ud=20200429000789
It's unrealistic. Do we expect students to learn at all if they're in a stifling hot room wearing masks all day? Do they expect elementary students to do that? They need to open school without these nonsensical guidelines or delay it further.
In Taiwan we don't have a/c's in the classrooms, we have ceiling fans. They open the windows, put on the fans and masks and away you go. Taiwan is pretty hot in summer so it can be done.
Don't the kids' worksheets blow all over the place?
Confusedsaffer: The weather, hot? Obviously you have never been to South Africa in summer, Taiwan is cool compared to some parts of eastern and northern South Africa.
Wait... did you just tell a South African he's never been to South Africa? I'm also South African, and I've been to Taiwan in summer. Temperature was comparable but humidity was way higher, in my opinion.
Sigh !!!Onnut in your haste to discredit me (imagine going through all my past posts to do that, you must be bored) your reading skills let you down.This is what I wrote:The weather, hot? Obviously you have never been to South Africa in summer, Taiwan is cool compared to some parts of eastern and northern South Africa.Note the bold part. I said 'Taiwan is cool compared to SOME parts of SA', not all.Let me elaborate. If you travel to the north coast of Natal in summer, the humidity plus heat make Taiwan and Korea seem cool. If you travel to the north-eastern area of SA, known as the Lowveld, let me assure you that it is way hotter than either of the aforementioned places. Let me give you some personal examples. During the 1980's I was stationed in a town then called Messina, on the border between SA and Zimbabwe with the SA military for 3 months, July to September (winter/autumn) and the temperature never dropped below 30 degrees. I went back to that same area in the summer of that year for a vacation and on Christmas Day it was 48 degrees. The hottest recorded temperature at the military base was 52 degrees. So you can see my point. If you have ever travelled to those areas you will know what I am talking about.Now, please tell me what all this has got to do with Korea and a/c's and Taiwan coping with fans? I think even with the most basic knowledge of a bit of Geography you would know that Taiwan and Korea are pretty similar places in summer. I would say Taiwan is a tad hotter but that is not important to this point.Way to derail my comment.
Wait... did you just tell a South African he's never been to South Africa? No. I copied and pasted Confusedsaffer's previous statement in a thread where I was making the argument that Taiwan had a hot summer, and he was adamant that it did not. I was surprised after all the effort he went to rebut my assertion that Taiwan summer was very hot, that he is now on here talking about Taiwan having a hot summer. It was just a little cheeky fun, but I see he has gone overboard as usual in his response.
I obviously didn't need to go through your posts. I went through my posts. When it benefitted your argument Taiwan was cool and didn't have a hot summer. When you want to join in on the current a/c in the classroom discussion Taiwan is now hot. Got it. How does one derail a comment? And are your comments not open to scrutiny? And as for derailing a thread, this thread is titled the Ranting?Venting Megathread. How could it possibly be derailed since its stated purpose is basically anything goes?
Oh my f'ing gawd, if one more of my friends or family members tries to tell me Bill Gates started the virus to control the entire human population. GTFOH!!!
