How Schools Need to Handle Wet Carpets
By Wendi Watson
When it comes to wet carpet and children, these two do not mix. Wet carpet can be dangerous and can cause illnesses, especially if mold has started to grow on it. If you have wet carpet, then you should be sure to take care of it as soon as possible. Wet carpet is not something you should wait around to see if it will fix the problem itself. The truth is that wet carpet is never known for fixing the problem itself. If your school has recently been through a flood, which is a common disaster, then you may have to relocate the classrooms that have been through the flood.
When it comes to wet carpet and schools, I have a lot of stories to tell. It seems every year in the beginning of school, which was the middle of August, the rain would start to fall and didn't stop for weeks. I remember watching the news to find that it had been closed due to the severe weather that was going on in the area. All I could think about was how happy I was that I did not have to go to school that day and the next day. The truth is, all I could think about was my extended weekend that I was getting.
What more can I say? I was young and would much more prefer to be at home, playing with my toys or video games in the house. I would have liked to go outside, but as I stated already, there was severe weather going on in the area. As the weekend came to the end, the rain still had not stopped but they allowed us to go back to school. I remember going to school for the first time since the rain had set in only to find that my class rooms were not where they were supposed to be. This is because the classrooms had wet carpet from the flood that had happened through the extended weekend.
However, this did not effect me because we were put in a big auditorium with other kids that had been assigned to different classes. This means that I would get the opportunity to talk to the kids from the other classes. Looking back on it now, I feel really selfish because I did not think how the wet carpet was effecting the adults. Now that I think of it, I guarantee you the adults were not happy with the wet carpet but all my friends and me could think about is how much fun we could have. I guess you could say we took advantage of the wet carpet, but hey, we were only kids.
After a couple of weeks, everything went back to normal and we could return to our classrooms again. Returning to our classrooms means the fun was over and it was time to start doing schoolwork. Back then, when I was a kid, I did not like schoolwork and would much more prefer talking to my friends and playing games with them. Although, it was always exciting for the first time to get to see the new carpet that had been put in because of the wet carpet. As for me not liking schoolwork, I began to like schoolwork when I got to highschool.
