An excuse to do something stupid

Choosing schools

My uncle is planning to move his family back here from the states, and they have been shopping around for a school where my cousins (a 13 year old girl and a 9 year old boy) can attend next year. I heard they were considering Ateneo for the boy, which would not be so bad as far as schools go. Earlier today, however, they said that they will probably enroll the kids to some other school because in that school, the rooms are air-conditioned. Of course, this is one of the stupidest reasons for choosing a school for one's children. I don't know much about the school they are considering, but there really is something wrong with their decision to put the children's comfort over everything else a school has to offer.

It's pathetic how these my relatives take such an abnormal view of prioritizing education: shopping around for a school a year ahead, only to use such an unimportant criterion for selection.
