What a bunch on weenies.
Geezer voice: In 12 years of school, I never once went to a single school that was air conditioned. And I attended schools in Hawaii, San Marcos TX, Montgomery, AL and Oklahoma City, OK. I can remember sweating so much that sweat dripping from my nose or forehead fell on my test paper, and smudged my answer. My shirt was saturated from wiping sweat off my face. And then we had to ride our bikes to get home.
End Geezer voice.
All 100% true. The schools in Hawaii did not even have heat. One day we hit 56 degrees. Everyone laughs at a low of 56. But when there are no coats, no blankets, and you are stuck in 56 degree temps wearing two layers of clothes it is cold! There were no inside halls to get from class to class, everything was just a covered patio style walkway and totally outside with just a roof to keep rain off of us.
We asked dad to drive us around in the car with the heater on just to get warm!
