 |

| Are all the public schools in Korea cold in the winter or do some of them actually heat the school up? |

Heating poses some of its own problems. For instance it makes sense to run the central heat at, say, 23-26 degrees, right? Oh, contrare! The correct method is to run the heat as high as it will go for a short time then shut it off and open all the windows. Obvious, right?
Conversely you have the super efficient heating method that is unventilated kerosene stoves. Here you get the twin joys of face melting heat coupled with carbon monoxide poisoning. It's a win-win situation really. |

Rusty,
love the sarcasm!
I'm thinking of coming back to Korea to teach and would love a warm public school. I though maybe Seoul had some... |

| Forced air heating, please someone introduce it. Or better yet, some one (preferably Korean) write an article on the health benefits of forced air heating and then pass it to all the K-media. Please. |

Always fun trying to do flashcards with gloves on.
Staffrooms are normally kept warm, so warm you got to take of your jacket. |

| My English classroom has forced air heating, same unit as the air con and I control it from a panel in class. It makes the room nice and toasty but makes for quite a shock when I open the door and the hallways have all the windows open and I can see my breath. |

All the classes in my school have this, but it is controlled by the building adjosshi or the principal or something. It comes on for about 2 hours in the morning but it is way too hot so the students open all the windows. Why not run it till after lunch on 23-26? Rather than on 35 for 2 hours? It would use the same amount of energy.  |

| Warm teachers' room, warm class rooms controlled in the room, but freezing hallways and (this is the worst) bathrooms! |

Overheated teachers offices, cold classrooms, washrooms and hallways.
At least the spiffy looking toilet seat in the washroom is set on "warm". |
