The old heater was broken

The boiler was broken when my kids went back to school in December after winter time break.

  • The first morning of school after they came back, they came into the apartment and started to complain to me about just how cold it was in the classrooms that morning.

I was surprised that they had even had school that morning because of the cold rapidly changing temperatures that my pal and I were having that week. Apparently, no one at the school knew that the boiler was torn up before they had already run all of the buses and gotten everyone into the classrooms. They were so worried about making sure that the tots got another morning of classes that morning after the split that they went ahead and stayed in the building even though everyone was chilly. It was the craziest thing ever. I have never heard of anyone doing that before when the weather is so cold. My child told me that her art mentor kept the kiln fired up while in their class so that they would at least have a little bit of heat in the classroom. Then during gym they all huddled together in the room with the heated pool because that was still working. I know they are going to have to get a brand new heating and cooling system installed in the school building, but that isn’t going to happen until summer time when they have the time to do all of the repairs at once. It will be a nice thing when they get it done, too. I don’t want to have to worry about the heating and cooling system at school on top of everything else.
