This will make you laugh.

Just don't turn them on. Let them then explain they refuse to teach because nobody switched the lights on for them.

Actually, thinking on this more any new rooms I get have occupancy detection in so if the room was opened and lights on at half 6 - 7 then by the time a teacher gets there, it would be off again anyway.

ask HT to allow you to get smart switches in all classes then the can turn them on before the leave home themselves

Nobody use pir sensors then?

I hope that you tell him that you are going to contact the union because...
If it is your job to turn them on &/or off then they are not to touch them if they are turning the lights off to see display screens -Like.png-

Preferably in front of the class..

But they would be too lazy to do that as well.. -Neutral.png-

We have automatic lighting, although i do have times when CO's call reception to say that their lights are not working.
When i attend i find them standing by the door pointing into the dark room, I will then lead them into the room whereby the room sensors pick up movement and switches on the lights. -Success.png-

Good morning All,

I did not turn the lights on yesterday and again today . Guess what they turned their own lights on -Like.png- and they still taught the lessons.

Going forward the next summer holidays the whole school is going with new lighting . Every light will be LED and yes i will ensure that room sensors are being installed in each classroom. After all it is such a hardship to press a single light switch and i wonder who turns the lights on/off at the homes -Wink.png-

Teacher aye, next they will expect the IT technicians to turn on all their computers for them before they start the day. Do they still wipe their own bottoms or do they expect somebody to do that for them too?
