I have so many good memories of my childhood.
I know I tend to romanticize the past, but I really think that I had an amazing childhood.
I was one of those few children who loved school. I did not love it for the sake of learning though. I loved it for the friends that I had there. There was always something that I did not like about school and that was how cold the school was kept. The only room that was always warm was the lunch room, so it was my favorite “class” of the day. I can remember several times asking my teachers if they would turn the temperature up just a little, and they always responded that they were hot because they were constantly walking around. No matter what time of the year it was, I always wore a long sleeved shirt and a jacket throughout the school. It was so cold. I had one substitute teacher who did not like it so cold in the classrooms, so she would always mess with the thermostat, and I tried to make sure that I thanked her for it. I think it is sad that we had to go to school and freeze, but it was simply the way that things were. I asked my mom if her school was the same way when she was growing up, and she said that it was not that way but quite the opposite. It was always very warm especially during gym class. I am not sure what would be worse, being too cold at school or being too warm. My children never complain about the temperature at school, so I am glad that they are content.
