A Naperville letter to the editor: In a post-COVID-19 world, we must remember the lessons learned.
In a post-COVID-19 world, we must remember the lessons learned. We dare not commit to retaining silos in place that led to societal disruptions from disease, extreme grief, lost years of life linked to long-Covid, family survivors who are now caregivers, loneliness from"social distancing," and how the health and education of our children suffered.
Exposure to airborne pollutants, particularly ozone and PM2.5 , is undermining the education of our children because they lead to a wide range of noncommunicable diseases. Asthma arguably tops the list but comes with significant complications: insomnia, fatigue, physical inactivity, obesity, obstructive sleep apnea and, unavoidably, adverse effects of the medicine to treat the disease. In most instances, that adversity is agitation that triggers disruptive behaviors in the classroom.
Of the $5 billion allocated to help our nation create a healthier primary and secondary education experience, a $400 million USEPA CSBP grant is open until Aug. 22. Parents and teacher organizations should contact their school boards and district leaders to take advantage of these opportunities.
