I have conducted a straw poll of a very small number of British state schools and discovered that none of them has air-conditioning. We always had air-conditioning when I worked in (public-sector) offices. On a day like today (33 deg c) it is impossible to work productively without it. One school that was included in my straw poll has south-facing classrooms - the sun streams in and everyone melts.
This is ridiculous. I demand that we either
a) introduce air-conditioning to schools, or
b) allow our children to stay home on hot days.
Come on! If we can afford it for our HQ-based civil-servants, we can afford it for our SATs-sitting, curriculum-bound school-attendees.

OOoooh - yes please! (Sorry, being more than a little selfish there...)
... or you could live in Scotland. By the time the weather warms up, (yes, it has. It's been upto 29 degs here!) the school holidays have started and we can all melt at home together! Deep joy.
