Unfortunately, that's exactly what's happening to the children of The Baltimore City Public Schools District. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Maybin, who now teaches at Matthew A. Henson Elementary School in Baltimore, says that his students have to wear coats inside the classroom. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ""My students were freezing,"" Maybin told Baller Alert. ""Most were wearing coats but some don't have them. I had two classes in my room all day with the windows open, using sunlight to keep warm."" ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ When Maybin returned to school this past week after Winter break, he realized the issue, and immediately confronted the principal. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ""When I arrived at school, half the lights in the building were off and it was freezing. When I spoke to the principal I was told It was due to nobody being there during the holidays to make sure the heat stayed on, and pipes didn't freeze."" ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ""The electricity was only working in half of the building. We tried our best as educators. They tried their best as scholars, but they are dealing with a lot already. And now they are supposed to learn in the dark and in the cold,"" said Maybin. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Well, who exactly is to blame? According to Maybin, the finger can be pointed at a few sources. Though a new light is being shed on the issue, the problem itself isn't new at all. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ""Everyone is to blame. Everyone is. The governor, the mayor, city council, north avenue. I blame everyone. This problem isn't new.......to read the rest log on to BallerAlert.com (clickable link on profile)"
