Kristen Payne, a parent at Golda Meir school where a student tested positive, told the New York Times that she assumed the facilities would be properly maintained, especially after Covid. A student attending Golda Meir School (shown) was poisoned  The organization Lead Safe Schools told a Fox News affiliate: 'Until the district, city and state work proactively to address root causes of lead exposure, these testing clinics will be more performative than proactive.  'There's lead paint in almost all of the schools and buildings.

And nobody has really stepped up, either in the city or the state legislature, to make our city safer and healthier for everybody. That's the most frustrating part of it.' The agency could disperse grants to the health department through the Childhood Lead Poisoning Prevention Program to fund inspections, remediation work such as stripping the paint, and public education campaigns. American students are products produced on an assembly line rather than individual works of art crafted by caring designers.

Students attend institutions wired with the information that has been superficially declared important for them to know. If the students can retain and recreate the information correctly they go to the next station on the assembly line. That is not how education should be and I plan on educating students differently. I feel that education will be better in my classroom; it will be like finger painting, reading comprehension stories questions much like how I learned to ride a horse. Education and finger painting are the same.

This most basic form of artistic creation is made up of the handprints of children. Although each child posses a handprint that may look similar to others at first, everyone has their own unique handprint. Finger painting cannot be done wrong. Everyone's art is different but it all has its good characteristics and is valued. To many adults a finger painting may look small and insignificant, but it is a base for the child to grow upon. Finger painting can be done alone or by several people.

The outcome of finger painting can vary greatly just as can the outcome of education. Education doesn't need to be a precision manufacturing process, where the students produced are expected to be identical in appearance, personality, and performance. Diversity should be encouraged and unique talents cherished. When I think of the greatest epiphany I've ever had I think of the process I went through learning to ride a horse.

When I first rode a horse I was nervous and stiff, worried about performing the correct actions in the desired order to achieve the perfect outcome. After four lessons I loosened up. I began to work with the horse and read the horse's body language. There came a day when I realized that horse riding is about a unity between the horse and rider, and now riding is a very natural thing for me. After that day I have always moved correctly with the horse's movements, going up and down with the horse, knowing when the horse is going to jump, and when a horse is going to cause trouble.

After riding for about a year I began working at the barn. In the mornings I would bring the horses in and feed them.
