~ The voice of an anonymous 2nd grade teacher in Shelby County, TN who teaches in a rusty old portable building. Last year, two students had reactions to the mold in the portables (one asthma, another broke out in an eczema induced rash). For two weeks, the students met in the library while the mold was remediated.
