They can be forced to stay home when it gets too hot instead.

Either one they get, they'll just have "school-from-home" now, which is a shame.

Or too cold. Seems like some parts of the world at least are getting more of those polar vortex, ultra cold days. And if climate change shuts down the gulf stream, maybe Europe gets a lot for cold days, too

IQ has been shown to be affected by AQI. We probably should hold school on very high AQI days.

How hot is too hot? Our kids were in 43ยฐ last month (109ยฐF).

Ours didn't get to stay home, but they weren't allowed outside at lunch the other week when it was over 40. Lucky for them the school has air con in all buildings.

That feeling of hope as you listen to the radio during breakfast as they read out the names of which local schools are delayed and closed. Even more the excitement when your school changes from delayed to closed.
