No Wonder The Saucepans Are All Snowflakes....

So Paris closes schools because it's too hot, we often close them because a bit of snow fell. What is going on? I never missed a school day, ever, because of weather. Too hot? My April, they go to school every day in hotter places.

TTT//yes I have danny.//
Where was that?

[Spicerack]

Teaching is the second hardest job in the world without it being hot as well.

Libya, Nevada, California, Iran, India.

I did an 11 mile walk around red rock canyon in 2003.

If you were working in those temps well done to you, closures aren't taken lightly and heat can kill and it will.

No temperature over 100F there?

grand canyon average temp in july is 41°.

Imagine that, inside a classroom.

[ToraToraTora]

what about the others?

[spathiphyllum]

Death valley average temp in July is 47 degrees.

Is that where you were in California?

If so.. well done, that is just 5 degrees above how hot it will be in France.

[Mamyalynne]

Choosing to put yourself through such arduous temperatures is your own risk as it was for the three people who have died from thermic shock after jumping into the sea to cool off in France.

Making that decision for thousands of others carries a greater risk.

TTT - are you being sponsored by some barm pot for every time you have a go at young people?

I hate hot weather. Always have.
There was something wrong with the radiators in my school, which meant that in one section, they stayed on - even in the heat. We had to sit alphabetically, which meant it was always me and some other kid with the same first letter of our surname, always ended up right next to them.

I know this is an American site, but it did make me laugh. Especially 3 and 7.

sherrard, nope but they make it so easy, all i mostly see is pathetic wimps who moan at the drop of hat and have a seizure if they are off twitface for 10 seconds.

[hereIam]

^ OMG no. 6 - I had a mini dress like that with big daisies on !

[ToraToraTora]

I love no 5 bigbad, there uised to be a queue of prams outside woolies, my mum went home without me several times! The roads are clogged now because the little darlings can't even go to school on their own.

[ToraToraTora]

Ironically, you sound like an utter snowflake.

[Mamyalynne]

Ironically I think you'll find it's largely middle aged men in air conditioned offices who make the decisions to close schools and hose down pavements in a freak heatwave. :-)

[ummmm]

Like Mamy says it's not the kids who make the decisions.

Years ago children and teachers tended to live quite close to the school, not so much anymore.

[Togo]

Not to worry. Wont be long before all of the schoolchildren in France are well used to those sorts of temperatures, or have a background that means that they consider them positively homely.
