Too hot for school?

[Dave_L]

Maybe I'm off base with this but I think it's kind of ridiculous. We cancel school because its too cold, too hot, potentially a big storm, etc. Every "extreme" means time off school. Is it really THAT bad? Maybe I've been out of school too long to remember what it'd be like in 95 degrees but if sports are still on, why is it too hot to sit in a classroom? Maybe a parent can shine some light onto this for me?

Pussy teachers, we hada go to school, gather the wood for the stove walk up hill both ways, fetch water from the well, face blizzards, withstand 100+ degree temps, get whoopn's from the teach if we was bad, than get another from the parents when they found out.....
Blah blah blah.

Were the blizzards and 100* temps in the same day too?

Our schools in MI never had A/C and I remember a couple of indian summers that we had 90+* temps at the end of Sep and still had to go to school.

I imagine it's hard enough to keep kids focused when it's nice and cool in there

90+ probably resembles Lord of the flies

This is a leadup to another bond issue. "We're having to shut down schools because we don't have AC."

Exactly. There are 20+ people in a room, all moving around, generating heat. It's going to be hell.
