There is a trend in the United States to reduce the expenses in education. Suddenly we find 30 students in a classroom that was (hopefully) designed for twenty or so, with no actualization of the facilities. In some cases, the facilities don't work any more, and there is zero ventilation. Given that teachers and students inhale air and produce CO2, this increases the concentration of CO2 in the classroom and therefore the concentration of carbonic acid in the blood goes up. This, I think, has the potential to harm the pupils' health and is not conducive to learning. Your remarks on this will be appreciated.
Yes, Oscar you are right. There is a mild impairment in the brain cells when there isn't sufficient oxygen (hypoxia). Oxygen is the last electron acceptor in the Electron Transport Chain for aerobes, including humans. Insufficient ATP is produced to drive cellular work in the brain cells when there isn't enough oxygen. Deprivation of oxygen is worse than deprivation of food. At least we can live quite a while longer without food. It's bad for the health of the children. Please speak up for the kids.
I agree with you entirely, that is why I advise my students to open windows during break time to refresh an air and increase an Oxygen
Hi friends, thanks for your contributions, messages. There's always such a lot of work and obligations and duties to do. But let's keep in touch on RG :)
I got it very seriously in the class of my Design Management :
For poor ventilation: students become tired soon and restless. Sometimes their headache starts with vomiting when the same students in a spacious and well-ventilated room perform well with any this non-adapted signals.
