Are schools making kids sick?

12. It's all a matter of proper construction and maintenance. There is nothing inherently

wrong with old buildings provided they are up-graded and maintained properly. Install new wiring, lighting, plumbing fixtures; seal the windows and insulate and you've got a building that is better than most modern construction; stone, brick, hardwood floors, real wood mouldings etc. . My kids did fine in a century old elementary school and developed asthma when they moved on to a brand new junior high. The junior high was built in a swamp and had mold growing behind its false facade and in its ventilation system.
