Heat wave meets Teltow-Fläming: Schools react with heat-free!
The heat wave, which is currently blowing through Teltow-Fläming, causes a lot of confusion in the region's schools. With temperatures that shoot steadily over the 30-degree mark, many educational institutions react to the oppressive heat. [maz-online.de] (https://www.maz-online.de/lokales/teltow--in-suedbrandenburg-in-teltow-flaeming-mit-hitzfrei- orkuerztem-gfvi2yhwxhw5fr7pa2dxqu.html) shortened lessons or even "heat -free" so as not to endanger the well -being of the students.
In particular, the meadow high school in Jüterbog had to be creative. The lessons were adjusted here so that the double hours are reduced from 90 to 60 minutes - and this means for the children that they can leave everyday school life behind at 12:15 p.m. No wonder that the temperatures in the classrooms are sometimes unbearably high, with up to 28 degrees. The Geschwister-Scholl primary school also introduced shortened lessons, so that the students can go home after the fourth hour at 11:45 a.m., which would normally only be the case at 2:05 p.m.
schools shape the lessons around
The Marie-Curie-Gymnasium in Ludwigsfelde took very special measures: there the lessons are held there in 30-minute units. In order to make the break a little more pleasant to the children, sun sails were set up and indoor breaks were also planned. This ensures that the students don't have to wait in the blazing sun even during the hottest hours of the day.
In the Ernst Moritz Arndt primary school in Luckenwalde, "heat-free" will also apply until next Thursday. Here the lessons end before the regular time and the students can be looked after in the after -school care until 12:55 p.m. What the school management in Brandenburg proudly announces is their own responsibility: depending on the weather, they can easily arrange heat -free or shortened lessons. The official guideline looks at an outside temperature of 25 degrees at 10 a.m. or a room air temperature of 25 degrees at 11 a.m.
Hessen remains flexible
In addition, it can be seen that the regulations too heat -free are not uniform. The Ministry of Culture in Hesse has already updated the regulations for dealing with large heat periods in 2021. There is no defined temperature limit there, but headmaster decides which measures are taken. [ffh.de] (https://www.ffh.de/nachrichten/magazin/393058-bei-welcher- Temperature-in-hessen-hitzfrei.html) describes that alternatives such as lessons in free or project-related lessons are regarded as solutions before the lessons are completely.
In Hessen, parents are also informed annually how high temperatures are handled in their schools. In all -day schools, care must always be provided until regular teaching ends, even if students cannot be sent home prematurely. So the security and the well -being of the students always focus.
The schools in Teltow-Fläming and beyond must make a lot of effort to counteract this heat wave. The use of creative solutions shows that the school management is not only about compliance with regulations, but above all about the well -being of their students.
