[QUOTE="InsaneCdn, post: 456160, member: 11791"] We don't get extreme heat - but it's possible to get "hot enough" even in Sept. - and school never starts later than Sept 1. I haven't seen this done since I was a kid, but... back when I [U]was [/U]a kid, we got two extra recesses per day... and for every recess, the principal had the caretakers turn on the hoses by the door OUT of the school - and anyone who wanted one, got a shower. It was hot enough that 10 mins later you were mostly dry, but it did help keep us better behaved... especially us older ones who were on the 4th floor (ancient walk-up school!) I think his argument in creating time for the extra breaks was that we cancelled PE - 2 recesses in a.m. and p.m. (4 in total) = 1 hr of physical activity, staged in a way that made sense in the heat.
