hot weather and half-days at school

The Clark County schools will have another half-day today-- in the face of our record heat. (I think it's the fourth so far, but I'm losing track.)

OK, multiple-choice time:
What should be said about this?

a.) This is yet another problem from global warming. Where's Al Gore when we need him?
b.) Spending $10,000 per student is not enough to keep them in schools that are reasonably cool.
c.) This is George Bush's fault...Impeach him!
d.) Why don't they start the school year after Labor Day like they used to?
e.) This is Nancy Pelosi's fault...Let's elect a Republican Congress in 2008!
f.) It's far better to send these kids home-- many of whom do not have air-conditioning or both of their parents work.
g.) This is yet another reason to allow competitive market for schools. Then parents could choose between schools that go half-day in the heat vs. full day no matter what-- instead of being forced to have their kids in a half-day.
