I have heard stories of moldy flakes of ceiling tile falling in a teacher's bowl of soup and witnessed these same moldy dandruff covering lunch tables. The problem of mold contamination leads to higher rates of asthma and tons of other health problems.
- This is a critical problem that deserves everyone's full attention and immediate action. No one's children are expendable,
It's a shame that there isn't more of an outcry from parents on this issue. If I had kids, I'd insist on pulling them out of those classrooms, and would go so far as to get a doctor's note, visit the school myself..
ReplyDeleteand as a teacher, I would get the union involved.
There has not been an outcry because nobody knew until now. I just found out myself and obviously I have had medical issues lately. The school department and Lynn Inspectional Services Day before yesterday made the determination I think on the second day of school. I talked with the Mass Coalition for Health and Safety and they recommended all of what you say. I am on the case now.
