Not in my schools when I went nor my kid's schools. And it hit 95 yesterday here and schools were not let out early. 

Where do you live and where did you grow up?

There are a lot of families around where I live. It was 93 degrees yesterday and plenty of kids were out playing. 

I'm sure its exactly the same too.  Were they playing in or with water? Was there a breeze? Could they cool off if they needed?  Healthy enough to be outside? 

My kids were also playing outside too- in suits with water guns, reading in the shade/breeze when they got hot.  None of that applies to a school with little circulation and 100s of kids.  

We get it, you walked both ways uphill to your un air-conditioned one room school house.  Congrats.

Many of the schools that were built in the 60's/70's haven't been retrofitted with HVAC yet.  They still have the original boiler systems for heat and no air conditioning.

It'd be nice if Uncle Sam could throw some of that Ukraine money towards those schools/towns.

Doesn’t it concern you, though, that just 50 years ago they didn’t need AC?

They needed AC just as much then as we do now.  They just didn't have the same health and safety regulations back then.

We are just beginning to witness the effects of extreme weather caused by man made climate change. Heat is one of them; it’s only going to get far worse. This is the new normal.

The average annual temperature is about 5 degrees hotter today than it was 50 years ago.

The uphill both ways is overused and no one said that except you. If your kids aren't healthy enough to be in a warm room learning, they should be getting medical help or you shouldn't be their parent. 

Dear Lord you are an absolute pvssy. What kid doesn't play outside on a hot day?

The climate changes, I don't think we're going to be able to do much about it.

And when it gets cold out it's "CLIMATE CHANGE!!!" all over again. The earth's temps are ever changing. Get over yourself. The earth does as it does

Less than 50 years ago. I guess we humans fixed the global cooling and the coming ice age.

See for yourself: https://www.weather.gov/media/slc/ClimateBook/Annual Average Temperature By Year.pdf

We didn’t need AC “just as much” 50 years ago as we do today because today it’s hotter. Whether we need AC in schools at all I dunno.

I guess the humans caused the last ice age then caused the melting away of the last ice age.

I don't care what you missed. That was the alarmist narrative and I'm sure you were frantically screaming somewhere from your basement or whatever about global cooling. "The scientists said so!!!!"

I wasn’t thinking about it because I was 4 years old.

I get it.  People down south probably laugh at this the way we do at them when they have to shut down for 2 days because of a dusting of snow.

Exactly.  Some people really have no idea what some of our school systems are actually like across the nation.

I bet inner city schools lb for lb have more funding and better facilities than rural schools.  Yet all the hoopla goes towards inner city kids have it bad.  Willing to doubt that as a whole.

You are right, but the only difference is budgeting for road de-icing and such. If it's rare, and lasts for only a day, then take the day off. But in the north, it can get hot for stretches, and it does. Kids don't need to be out of school.

Schools didn't budget in air conditioning when they built them years ago.  New schools are built with AC now.

This is hard for some people. 

Also, my kids haven't been out of school because of heat, because well - we are lucky enough to have a school with operational A/C.   I understand older schools with no a/c having to go that route sometimes.

Great. We're no longer Little House on the Prarie. But that shouldn't impede education if we are are still. 

[MDC 7,127]

Imagine being mad that schools without AC might close when the heat index exceeds 100.

How often did your school close because of heat? I grew up in the midwest. Many days were brutally hot out. Never once shut down for heat. No one died. Kids weren't failing out.

My opinion is to do what is best for the kids and I leave that up to the school districts.

I doubt they're stuck in a room all day without AC and try to focus on school work.  I'm sure they play outside for a little bit then go inside to cool down.  They watch TV and play video games.  I can't imagine the majority of them are playing outside from 8am to 3pm.

Yeah. Ok. This site is not about giving opinions on topics. It's all about posting what is happening and then leaving it at that.

A few times when it got 100+ outside.  We also had a/c, which is a major portion of this equation.  

You know how this goes- all it takes is one kid having a heat stroke or getting sick and CYA mode kicks.  I'm sure you are right as well- very few have gotten sick.

Your kids I'm sure. You have confirmed that.
