You pay taxes and your child has the right to attend the public schools. So, if you feel that there are any issues with the schools you are your child’s voice. Talk to your child, question your child, believe what your child tells you and investigate. Do not assume that someone is making sure the school is a safe and healthy environment.
Adults do not believe that anyone in the school district would harm their child. In addition, children do not report the obvious to their parents, as children do not believe the adults in school would do anything to harm them. For instance, children perhaps see buckets in the schools collecting water as it leaks through the roof. The kids do not understand that this should not be happening. So, the kids do not report these occurrences to mom or dad. Nosebleeds, coughing, respiratory ailments, digestive problems, headaches and/or fatigue may occur for your child on a regular basis throughout the school year and therefore, your children do not report it to you. It is essential for all parents to start asking the obvious and keep track of occurrences.
Boycotting? Although it is an excellent idea, you will never get a majority of parents to keep their children home. As we stated above, most people believe that no one would intentionally put a child in harm’s way. Again, until the proper testing is conducted in the schools, you will hear that the schools are fine.
Cyber schooling is an excellent alternative. We highly recommend this form of schooling. You must have a motivated child and be willing as a parent, to work with your child. The feeling of knowing that your child is learning in a safe environment is priceless.
Dust mask? To make a statement, perhaps this would get someones attention, but for protection a hazmat suit is necessary. You must remember that toxins enter your body through inhalation, ingestion and through contact with your skin. Typical dust masks for painting, sanding, etc. are useless, as toxic particles are much smaller than the weave in the average dust mask.
Contacting the media? Again, great idea but you need lots of participation. We do not mean to sound so negative about the ideas, but we have been there, done that. Seven years ago, the television and newspapers covered the story and meetings were held throughout the district, but administration downplayed the situation and stated that it was just a handful of kids and parents voicing concerns, even though throughout the entire school district there were sick people. We believe that everyone with a sick child must stand up for their child in order for the school district to take notice. In addition, sick teachers must also report their concerns.
If you are concerned about your health or your child’s health due to exposures please contact us by private message or at . Our doctor has volunteered her time to come to our school district and administer a simple test to determine if you have been exposed to toxigenic material. If 100 people contact us our doctor will administer the test free of charge.
Exposures to toxins should not be taken lightly. They can be life altering and can last a lifetime. We know administrators and board members read this blog. As we have said repeatedly, we are here to help the community. We also thought like many of you, that this is not real. Unfortunately, it is real - it is very real.
