Some Schools Close Cause Of Hot Temps

[listen2me 23 1,825]

Never had a "heat day". My school had no AC.  But I didn't grow up in a real warm climate.   But there were some brutal days in there.  We ran fans.

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. 

I think you're getting confused here.  There's a difference between me filling you in on what's happening and me giving an opinion on why they do it.  When I say my kid's school dismissed early because of the heat I'm not giving you an opinion, that's just the facts.

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. 

I agree with that. Litigeous society.

And I gave an opinion on it.

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

Yeah.  I don't know any kids that would be playing outside from 8 to 3 when it's over 90 degrees.  I'm sure some do.  Now THIS is opinion.

I used to in the summer as a kid.  Maybe not 8 to 3 but 10-6. But kids don't do that anymore.  Gaming and phones.  When I see kids playing a pick up game of anything I basically pump my fist these days.

It's amazing the level of acceptance that many parents have for their kids not being active. Fock the weather. Get outside. Wear sunscreen and drink water. Who cares otherwise. In the winter, wear boots in the snow and warm coats etc... It's really not hard. Being outside and making friends and being social is a learning aspect of a healthy life when you are a kid.

 My concern would be the bus ride if your kid has a long one. I was furious during Covid a few times when the bus was late due to combing routes and my kids were in that hot box with a mask on after wearing one all day. They were informed to take it off if the route got changed for the day, and if the bus driver had something to say they can take it up with me. It happened once. Just once.

Amwrican schools can't afford basic supplies or to pay teachers a decent wage.  Or to keep art/music programs.  Or , well you get it. 

 

 

They could. If they didn't spend so damn much on the IEP kids dragging everybody else down. Go back to the old days where we threw these morons into a classroom by the theater in the basement. GTFO the way. 

[TheNewGirl 1,347]

I don't recall my kids ever getting an early release for heat, and we get into the 110's and higher. Last year at this time, the temp was 116 and we had extremely unhealthy air due to CA wildfires. They went to school, maybe recesses were cancelled for elementary kids, or outside PE was moved indoors, but I never recall them ever coming home from school because it was "too hot" out. I do know that practices for outside summer sports (mostly soccer) get canceled due to heat occasionally. 

I never got sent home early either as a kid. Not even in other extreme weather (for CA, this would basically just be hard rains).

Does the school have AC?

Just the teachers lounge.

Yes. But there've been tons of occasions where it wasn't working/broken and they didn't send kids home.

How the fock did kids get educated before air conditioning?

[Gepetto 1,288]

This is a non issue. There are days required to complete a school year and days available that can be canceled; if too many get canceled, they can extend some hours and or day(s).

Very true.  Not sure why it bothers certain people so much.

Nope.  I was offering info on why some schools do it and that I have experience with it here in Iowa.  I don't think it's a big deal one way or the other as long as the kids are getting the proper education.

You brought up others getting bothered. They're just comments, just like yours.

Yeah, I'm sure this is where a the money for schools is going.   Isn't them being blended in the gen population a sign of lack of funds and resources?

Standards were different back then, yes.

But it also wasn’t so focking hot: https://www.climate.gov/news-features/understanding-climate/climate-change-global-temperature

If there’s working AC, no school should not be canceled, and I doubt it is.

We should be asking ourselves why we HAVE to have AC now, basically everywhere. And the answer to that question should concern us.

But anyways, if the school has AC, I’m sure they’re not canceling

Yeah sometimes it used to get hot.

Difference is, on average, it’s hotter all the time now.

And the real problem? Night time temperatures are rising too. So it NEVER properly cools down during the course of the day.

But go ahead and live in denial. It probably doesn’t matter anyways

Yeah, and then sometimes it was global cooling. Ice ages. Then the ice ages stopped by warming. How did the iceburgs melt back then? Dinosaur gas? Look at history dude.

Typically you’re talking about things that occur over the course of hundreds of of thousands or millions of years. So yeah, that’s a little different IMO

You can also look at the Temps involved in the ranges too.  Yes, there has been heating and cooling throughout time-  but is it the same or are spikes higher and in a shorter time range?

You can look at a lot of things and make assumptions but it doesn't change the history of the earth. History teaches us things.

Yes, and that would point us to us affecting and accelerating the Temps, or it it's the same as it was as you and others claim. You don't think that's important info? 

Looking at that data doesn't require assumptions on your part.
