I think they showed MOLD on the opening clip. They said kids are

sleeping in classrooms! and are not learning anything!

I believe this is a re run of a two day report (hopefully done because

so many teachers in sick schools wrote her!) that was first run in 06.

Day two of this report will go into DC schools and

SHOW the mold/water leaks etc. BUT he doesn't connect the dots for

parents which I believe is lacking. I wrote him after this was aired

the first time and told him it isn't enough to show the terrible

pictures of moldy schools...he needed to do a follow up show but that

was never done as far as I know. Most parents don't KNOW what those

pictures MEAN regarding the devastating health effects to their children.

If the Bill Gates foundation really does care about the future of

education in this country,

they should fund fundamental mold research like Dr. Shoemaker's and

Dr. Straus's.

With people like that who are already so far along, money goes a long way.
