stupid hotness

okay, so i know that it's hot, right? and i know that no one likes the heat--BUT i think i hate it more than most. please allow me to explain:

in NYC, it is close to 100 degrees. i am a teacher. i work in a high school with NO AIR CONDITIONING!! this is obviously a problem, but let me tell you WHY this is a problem.

1. on the news, every weatherperson and newscaster points out how hot it is and says "be sure to stay inside in air conditioning" or something to that effect. Even the freakin' mayor will say stuff like that when it gets hot enough in NYC. yet, i do not get to do this, for my school SUCKS! many other schools suck too.

2. if i worked in an animal shelter and tempatures inside the shelter reached to 100 plus degrees like they do in my classroom, people would totally freaked out. yet, it is perfectly okay for children to suffer worse than unwanted animals?

3. i work in a vocational school. we have certification available in auto repair, carpentry, plumbing and something called HVAC--that stands for Heating, Ventilation and --get ready for this--AIR CONDITIONING!! That's right, i work in a school that can create and fix air conditioners, yet we can't get it in our building!!

How is it that schools--probably the most important places in America--cannot provide its students with proper, humane conditions to work in? AAARRRRRGGGGGGGHHHHHHHH!!!
