Do you see the light? I do, and I don't like it. It's almost everywhere I look. The lights are florescent and I don't like them because they are so bright and they make a humming sound. You may not be able to hear them humming but I sure do, all day long. They are located in schools, stores, libraries, museums, bathrooms almost all public places, sometimes they are even in some homes.

It's tough to concentrate with the noise they make. It's tough to see when they are glaring at you. I have had trouble with these lights for years. I spend allot of time in school and school is full of them.

My teachers and parents have worked hard to make some accommodations for me so that I feel less distracted and more comfortable. Sometimes we have been able to turn off every other light on the ceiling. Other times, we are able to turn them out completely and use available light from outside. Still another way around this constant distraction is to replace them with the incandescent light bulb.

As students return to the classroom it might be a good idea to survey the room and find out how to accommodate the students so they can concentrate on their work.
