Oh, my elementary school was like that. Since I grew up with it, I could live with it. (The teachers were also super-strict, so no one dared to complain.) It teaches students that they can't always get what they want, and they have to live with it. (The Authority is always right, etc.)
Although, from a environmental standpoint, it's probably a good idea to make sure kids don't get used to AC though, so that they grow up and are able to resist turning the AC on and reduce their carbon footprint >_>
