Nope. They don't have "heat wave days" like they have snow days. Dress ds in cool clothing. [ Reply | More

That is not true, they do. However, their must be a heat index of over 100 for several days and the city gov't needs to call on people to conserve energy. [ Reply | More

my child's private school has no air conditioning and they are holding classes (but it's a Hill school so I think they will spend a lot of time in the shade outside and their classroom has a cross breeze which you probably don't get in too many manhattan classrooms) [ Reply | More

putting a/c in a very old bldg is extremely expensive and it's something they would only use for maybe 2 weeks a year and many years not at all (school ends tomorrow and it's very rare to have this kind of heat this early). The library has a/c to protect the books. But honestly, it's fine. [ Reply | More

our public has a/c in the classroom, but sometimes when it's really hot out they do indoor recess (which seems stupid to me). I'll send DS in shorts and sandals with lots of bottled water (actually, brita filtered tap water in re-used spring water bottles). [ Reply | More

Stupid UB won't let me respond in the right place. To the poster who asked: "stay home because there is no airconditioning? what did people do back then when there was no such thing?" What's the point of this question? It's going to hit almost 100 degrees and the OR is 8 months pregnant. [ Reply | More

On a day like this, any 8-months pregnant woman who had the option would have stayed home and taken it easy. IF she'd even been working in an office in the first place; a lot of women were pressured to quit their jobs when they got married, and even more so once they got pregnant. Which is why the question struck me as silly. If you want to refer back to what people "used to do," then a MC pregnant woman wouldn't even be working outside the home. [ Reply | More

TX mom here - you NYers would D-I-E down here! The heat sucks doesn't it??? Our schools are all A/C, but try going back to school in Aug when it is 105 outside and the a/c in the school bldg is at 68. You go from sweating to freezing in minutes. [ Reply | More
