Which is garbage reasoning because this is true in the states also, and yet, the last two weeks of school where I am we were in a heat wave, and four of those days they called for early dissmisal/half day due to heat, and sent the kids home at noon. Many schools dont have cooling outside of the offices (another issue), but you cannot learn (nor teach) when its too hot.

No doubt some schools minister will come out and say that “school is so important and missing even one day can damage a child’s future irreparably”. They did it with Covid and they’ll do it again and it has nothing to do with the children. They just don’t want parents to have to miss work because they’re looking after their kids. They depend on the worker bees never stopping for any reason.

The children have been marinating in repeated Covid infections now for 5 years after restrictions were lifted and one of the consequences of Long Covid is heat intolerance. Now we are subjecting them to constant excessive and potentially lethal heat in classrooms that often don’t even have opening windows let alone Air Conditioning. They really don’t care if the children survive at all, just that the parents are forced to work so the billionaires can get a bit richer and own ever more of everything.

Always pushing the “school is the best place for your child” BS
