Excessive Heat Warning

No wonder Mr. Cook decided not to come in to work today. Room 401 South is hotter than the surface of a microwaved gas station burrito, but the classroom doesn't share the burrito's icy cold center.

The fact that schools without air-conditioning are forced to open in the middle of the hottest month of the year should be an indicator that the American educational system has truly lost its way. Apparently no amount of Masters Degrees and Doctorates can convince the bigwigs at the Board of Education that it's usually pretty fucking hot in August.
