Heat Wave School Closes

看晨間新聞時看到的新聞標題。熱浪來襲,所以一些學校停課。在知道有些學校沒有冷氣之前,我以為美國的學校普遍有冷氣空調。暖氣當然是一定有。

School districts cancel classes, announce early dismissal ahead of expected hot weather

“Because of the age of our buildings, many do not have air conditioning,” Monárrez said. “We regret that we are ending the school year in an abrupt manner, but we want to ensure our students and staff are safe in what are predicted to be unusually hot temperatures.”

不過像這次的高達華氏100度的熱浪一般沒有來得這麼早,通常都是在學校放暑假之後,所以我是在最近幾年才在電視新聞上聽到學校因為熱浪停課的消息。唉,只能說這全球暖化喔......
