16. Since the southern states weren't as populated as the Northeast states

and had municipalities that sprawled more, the schools could be built to "sprawl" and have maybe no more than 3 floors.

Most of the schools I went to until I was in HS, had 4-5 floors and were all brick or stone - literally becoming "pizza ovens" in hot weather. When you have buildings like that, they absorb the heat - especially after an extended heatwave, and are slow to cool down at night, so it's already hot in the classrooms the next morning.

We used to laugh about those hot days near the end of June right before school let out where the teachers would pull out the gigantic pedestal fans, turn out the lights, and have us kids open the windows (everyone fighting over getting to use the "window pole" with the little hook on top to reach up to pull down the top sash), and then sit quietly watching the bees flying in and around the classroom.

And agree - this is coming on the 2nd full year, although they have finally put their foot down here in the city about doing "in person" classrooms and what was REALLY required to do that. There was already overcrowding in the schools, so trying to add mitigation in the small classrooms is definitely going to be a challenge (particularly distancing, which is nearly impossible).

I think the masking, air purifiers, as much distancing as possible, barriers, and proper ventilation (another issue in the old piece of junk buildings) will go a long way to helping.
