I have to disagree with this. At least, around where I live, heating and cooling is not even close to being standard in schools. I mean teachers rooms have them as well as the office areas, but in classrooms they are still extremely rare to my knowledge.

The school you went to must have been pretty bad. I mean there most certainly are schools plagued with that kind of violence, but it is not representative of the norm. It all depends on the state, city, and most importantly the area of the city the school is in.
