Where in the World is Bob Saget?

It was over 100 degrees here yesterday. The school district got out early because of the heat two days ago.

That's crazy. So what, its hot, deal.

A lot of schools in our county don't have air conditioning. My high school was partially un-air conditioned. They had problems with people passing out or having other forms of heat-related illness, including dehydration

Really? I thought these days AC was standard in most places. Wrong me.

My kids' schools had no AC at all. Most older schools up North were never built to accommodate AC.

The county over will let out individual schools that don't have air conditioning. But yeah, a lot of them don't especially in Baltimore County. The middle schools all got a renovation when I was there and all but one has air conditioning now, but a lot of them are older ones and don't have it, and the county isn't willing to pay the money to install A/C. At my high school half is un air conditioned and half is because the half that is was an addition. It's not that they can't install it, but more like they won't.

Benefit of college: even though part of the campus is 60+ years old (as evidenced today by the sign I saw that said "Fallout shelter") it has air condition.

Nemo, your view is beautiful! I'm glad I tagged along!

A lot of schools around here don't have AC. All schools in my (old) district have AC, but one school's wasn't working.

Nemo, your view is beautiful! I'm glad I tagged along!

I'm glad you did too - we really needed a spare trash can.

Going to a school without A/C after having been in two with A/C was pure misery.

What was worse was the day the heat went out my Senior year in part of the building...

Our schools don't have air either. (Except the office.) It's up to the teachers to bring in their own fans. Of course all our buildings are from 1974 and earlier.

We had AC at the private school I taught in, but money was so scarce that we were not allowed to use it unless the temps went over 90. I too had my own fans.

Hello, all! I have arrived on the Animal Planet after a 12 year trek (remember, I went through a wormhole, so time is different for me). Your complaints are pitiful in this 893 degree weather! I don't understand how "animals" can live here at all.

The schools (and airport customs offices, which is where I'm at) here have AC, which gets the temperature down to 845. Ahhh... Feels good.

 

[PUSH]

I think our schools turn on the air at 80 degrees. It got ridiculously hot in some rooms, especially those with not windows. Several teachers had fans, but some didn't have any. It was insane.

The office? What the administration thinks they're special? Jk, the office at my old high school had A/C as well, and the library and guidance and any other rooms with computers. But not the nurse's office.If you got a room in the new wing, you had a party.

I was thinking of you this morning at the airport. there was a middle-aged couple with family who were obviously going to WDW. SHe was reading things to the rest of them off her phone, and every time she read anything about AK, she called it Animal Planet. I chuckled under my breath, but I thought of you.

Ours turned it on at a certain date since it's centrally controlled. Not a good idea because you could have a cool April day and it would be freezing in the buildings or a hot March day (as we had this year) and get too hot and then couldn't do anything about the air

Well, she was obviously reading it from somewhere... Maybe she was looking at this thread!

She could have easily misunderstood since this is a Disney World forum, and why would anybody talk about giant storms full of sharks and Animal Planets here if it wasn't related to Disney?

Reminds me of somebody's profile pic... What was their name again?

Same trees- just a year later....
