Children First

Didja ever wonder, while walking through a school building on a hot muggy day, why the only air conditioned rooms in the building are the ones where adults spend the day...usually only one or two of them at a given time, and the rooms where thirty -forty children are crammed into tiny uncomfortable desks get no air conditioning, and often the windows don't open either. Why is it too expensive to air condition classrooms, but not administrative offices, or libraries, or community centers,or or city hall, or state and federal government buildings? What happened to "Children First"? Oh I remember, kids don't vote.

Why is it that roofing, paving and plumbing contractors aren't required to finish their work before school starts for the year (always allowing for catastrophe, of course)?
Why is it that double-parking rules don't apply to parents dropping off their kids on narrow streets?
