DOE Must Get The Lead Out




















An investigation found  938  NYC classrooms, which includes many of the youngest students, are in classrooms  that had lead paint levels that were considered a health risk.  High levels of lead are associated with mental retardation, inattentiveness, behavioral problems, and low intelligence as the lead interferes with the developing brain in young children.

Worse, parents of these children in lead contaminated classrooms were kept in the dark by the DOE Is it any wonder these young children are potentially exposed to lead paint chips and, air pollution that negatively affects their academic ability.

 I bet DOE headquarters have no lead problems. The DOE's children first policy is simply a joke.

I apologize for being off topic, but does anyone know if Teachers Choice purchased period has officially started? I checked the website and see nothing. The UFT failed to communicate yet about this.

Parents were left in the dark? How about TEACHERS LEFT IN THE DARK!

DOE motto of "Children first, always" is a nice idea, but so far from the reality.
Problem is they don't realize it.
