Our schools do have air conditioning though. When I was in school we didn't have air conditioning until high school. It was a brand new building with NO windows, so I guess there was no option but to put in air conditioning. By the time my son started school in 1990 all the schools were air conditioned.

I remember the huge fans in each classroom that made the students go to sleep as they cooled us off.
