>Some teachers thought that's a good idea, but I can tell you writing in gloves just gets annoying. At risk of starting a Pythonesque masochism contest, you're lucky you were allowed gloves! Our teachers wouldn't let us wear coats or gloves when the heating broke down because "we can't see your uniform and it doesn't look smart, anyway it's not that cold". I went to a comprehensive school sandwiched between two private schools so of course my school had an institutional inferiority complex! Also there's no way I could work well at 10C/50F, I think a company that insisted on such conditions would have trouble with resignations pretty quickly!
