Why are 5th grade boys so obsessed

Nice to see how many other teachers there are here on the forum, and that children all over the world smell. Now it's hitting the high of the hot season, its 35 degrees celsius out on some days, the kids come back to class dripping with sweat u can feel the blast of heat when u step into the room. 40 - 41 hot sweaty kids in one room is really unpleasant. My oldest kids are only 10. I can imagine what the teachers in higher grades are facing. sometimes these kids run past and I just wanna faint.

By the time it's 35 degrees, who doesn't smell a bit? It's handy to have a bunch of eleven and twelve year olds to blame...

I am very glad to be in a new (opened in 2007) classroom block that has adequate climate control. It sure makes a difference when it's warm outside.

Actually, here classrooms are build in very open blocks. They have windows running the length of the room, and six ceiling fans in each classroom. Because we don't have winter so the corridors are all open air. And my primary school also has like.. 6 floors of classrooms. So when the room is empty it smells really nice and fresh since theres always fresh air coming in from the windows. But u're right. Everyone probably smells abit... I can't imagine what it'd be like in a classroom built for the temperate climate...
