Hot classrooms are impairing student learning and health amid record-hot year, teachers say

Teachers unions and educators are sounding the alarm about sweltering conditions in classrooms as the school year kicks off following record-setting heat.

Give classrooms A/C. Kids can't learn well in hot classrooms.

I still remember the summer of '82 I think it was, when record-breaking heat was killing off seniors and children in Milwaukee, WI. I remember the school I went to without AC and wondering how they expected us to do anything when there wasn't any air in the rooms--not AC, just air! No fans, no breeze, just stagnant heat. It was terrible--and it's far worse now.

Yeah, give them AC so they can breathe, think, and learn!

We had fans, if I remember correctly. It still sucked.

Hubby has a huge contract with NYC schools. Some of them had air conditioning but they are not working

Depending on the school's infrastructure it can require a lot of work and costs a lot of money

Most of the schools he worked on needed new ducts and electrical work, before they could even begin installation.
He has also worked on providing and/or improving ventilation

He and other contractors involved have made great progress.

Most of Long Island's schools also have air conditioning

At least NYS only has hot weather in about 3 months out of the school year

I cannot even imagine hotter regions of the country

In my day, we walked up steep hills through 4 ft. snow drifts, three miles each way, to attend school, as we did in bitter cold
and in June and September afternoon heat and high humidity.

What I would have given, just to ride on the worst of those days, in an unairconditioned, unheated school bus.

Seriously... the 2023-24 school year here began as early as the last week in July. School year ends in such districts in May.
Schools in the northeast and I assume in the rest of the U.S. reopened before the Labor Day holiday beginning in the 1980s
in reaction to perception our students were "falling behind the Japanese".

No justification in blue states not to return to the old, post Labor Day school year start. Comparatively, blue states public schools
perform effectively.
Now it is demonstrated these results in G.O.P. governed states are intentional G.O.P. policy to attempt to remain competitive in elections. No state of 37% or more batchelor's degrees earned votes in the majority for Republicans.

Prisons as well depend on G.O.P. approach to public education.

In some of the oldest cities, the schools are ancient and in dire need of upgrades--but too many just don't see the point of using tax dollars for that sort of thing when it can be used to entice Walmart or Amazon to set up shop blocks away. Brand new host of low-paying, unskilled jobs next to a crumbling school--city planners are stupid.

There is a hole in RWE s' brains, where the money earmarked for education has to go, owing to the blowback of too many "firearms hobbyists" per capita, residing in some states.

Geez, the only infrastructure investment he sees for schools is turning them into military compounds--and arming the teachers. Are we becoming a third world nation? I remember when my kids went to school--I used to slip little jokes in their lunch bags so they could make friends. Now I'd think about putting in flyers on life saving techniques for gunshot wounds. Yikes!
