Yep. My elementary school was a very old school building and apparently had the original wooden desks. They had inkwells, but of course, we did not use ink. I still thought those desks were pretty cool, though. This was early 60s.
They do that here in Florida, but of course, the schools have a/c. When I lived up north, we started after Labor Day, but the temperatures were still hot….easily in the 80s….and the schools did NOT have a/c.
My husband is a German. (I imported him). When he came to the USA he actually had to take a CUT in his vacation time. He had had 6 weeks in Germany and now he had 4.
Uh, I don’t think one of them qualifies as a “decent” person.
