I don't understand it. As the temperatures rise, the air conditioning in the building blasts. I wear fleece jackets to the classroom. My fingernails turn blue. I drink tea.
Do my students bundle up?
Heck, no.
The guys sport shorts and flip flops.
The girls? Oh, good lord. What would you wear in a 62 degree classroom? Why, a skimpy tank top and a short skirt, obviously....right?
No wonder they can't seem to make it through one of my exams-- they spend too much energy shivering more than a chihuahua!

Had a professor friend mention that during a class discussion on breastfeeding, that several of the coeds mentioned they couldn't do it because they wouldn't want their breasts exposed.... but a quick glance over the class room showed that not to be the true reason
ROTF. I wear a sweater to all my classes. For some reason the school admin believes we need to sit in a meat locker to concentrate better. "Heat makes you sleepy" they say. Who can concentrate? I'm FREEZING. It's crazy. So much for living green.
haha, I never understood the short skirts in the classroom but that's me.
I like cold though, and having more clothes... there is nothing as awful as sitting in a hot classroom with stinky people ;)
i don't understand the need for sub-zero air conditioning in the summer!! i keep a lab fleece at all times for that reason. it resides at my bench.
You could teach in a speedo as revenge.
That sounds like all of your students have somehow gotten a sense of English fashion.
Granted, I might be biased, but I did one semester in the UK, and swear that the girls were wearing the same kind of outfits in december (actually, guys did too, although some of them didn't wear slippers). And no, they didn't wear coats to go outside.
