There are things in life that seem to blow away. At Perrysburg High School, assigned papers for the freshman in the commons float away from the breeze.
Kaelen Espich, a student in the commons for study hall said, “My papers have gotten blown away by the fans a few times before.”
Now that some students’ papers are being blown away, the issue is becoming more than just a case of cold air, it’s even disrupting their ability to work on their assignments.
eSomethin visited the Commons to see if papers would blow away, and low and behold when students have their papers even slightly crumpled, they start moving. This is important because a lot of students, especially freshmen, one way or another, have their papers crumpled, wrinkled, and even ripped. Even when trying to flatten the papers, they stay crumpled and curved at the edges.
Makenzie Pacynski said, “I would feel better if the fans were turned down”.
Student after student states that the fans should be turned down.
Dr. Justin Fults, the principal of Perrysburg High School, said that “because of unseasonably hot weather” we keep the air conditioning on.” He said that there is no way to turn the fans “incrementally up or down.”
Fults advised students to wear “layers so that way you can add them or remove them as needed.”
Lucas Moll said he brings a “long sleeve jacket” to make himself feel comfortable. When referring to the fans he said “they can be a bit too cold.”
Carl Schultz said “The fans are very cold and I am shaken.”
Kaelen Espich says he would definitely “feel better” if the fans were turned down.
At the end of a day, this issue impacts mostly freshman students as they typically have study hall assigned to the Commons. Freshman students say that the fans blowing really high is causing disruptions in their learning.
