Not sure when you attended schools in Greenville, but I was in elementary school there back in the mid-80s. It was only a few years back that I learned about an ugly little side of the school system there. Back in that era, all the elementary schools were built without air conditioning, but they were designed in such a way that it could easily be added. The PTA groups in the more affluent parts of town were party to this and would always chip in for the AC units (my school had AC in every classroom). I understand that the schools across town weren't able to do the same. As I recall, it can get pretty hot and humid down there. I'm sure this wasn't unusual in the south, but I was nevertheless surprised to learn about it.
