Classroom Lighting

Betty Hakanson, an English teacher at Freeport Middle School in Freeport, Florida

Instead of using the industrial, fluorescent, ceiling lights, I bring in lamps. Inexpensive floor lamps can be purchased at any discount stores or online. I put a lamp in each corner, in the back, by my desk, and use just one of the overhead light switches. Everybody loves the lamp look. It's warm and inviting and makes the room feel more like home.
