I was talking to a friend last night and I got on a rant about the weather and how anytime it gets like 90 degrees, the news/media reacts like its 400 degrees and hot metal spears are raining down on the general public and everyone is melting. LOL. I can remember sitting in school on 90+ degree days sweating my balls off and that was a normal summer day. Now apparently schools are closing early and letting kids go home early because its hot out. WTF!!!!Mind you... they're sending kids home from an air conditioned school because its hot OUTSIDE. Shut the front door are you serious??? Is it me or is society starting to make everyone wimps? When it was hot when I was a kid I was told to deal with it. "Just be still J'son" was what my grandma used to say.
Now, apparently it's child abuse if your kid isnt cooled at the perfect temperature.

and the schools I went to only shut down for scheduled holidays and extremely bad weather (whole town flooded once, got snowed in a couple days - yea in FL and the occasional hurricane/tornado with 100+ mph winds). Even during one of the before mentioned scenarios, if school was in session they would buckle down until it was over. They didn't call every parent and say come get your child now we're closed due to the weather.
We used to try to kill each other spiking volleyballs off our foreheads and trying to mame someone in dodgeball. It made you get better one way or another, right? 
They were uncomfortable as hell, but the girls looked good in them.
