It cannot be acceptable that students are expected to spend hours in classrooms where temperatures can reach 40°C or even higher. At those temperatures, it is almost impossible to concentrate, learn, or feel well. In my opinion, this is irresponsible and completely unfair to both students and teachers. In Germany, for example, many schools have some form of “Hitzefrei” meaning students may be sent home early when temperatures become too high. Why does Switzerland not have a similar rule? It is also already the end of the school year. In many classes, there is not much completely new material being taught anymore. Is it really necessary to keep students inside dangerously hot classrooms just to follow the normal schedule? I honestly think schools and cantons need to take this issue much more seriously. Either classrooms should be properly cooled and ventilated, or students should be sent home when temperatures become unreasonable. submitted by /u/PokeeeTraineer
