wonderless years

my rant of the blog is about irresponsible people and a chain reaction of events that leads to this rant

it is all common sense, but i still like to put this all down

if someone care about children and the well being of children would they choose to open a preschool next to a location of a busy freeway overpass in los angeles? especially the busy 10 and 405 intersection ... and the 405 was also expanded which means more cars and more pollutants in the morning hours.

maybe they didn’t do it intentionally or they did because all they care is about the money since it is a business.

another argument would be affordability ... but then what is the price of your child health?

it is really the chicken or the egg ... supply and demand ... and the cycle of hypocritical issue

if there is one preschool that is not near the freeway that cost let say $1,000 a month vs. the one that is just next to it that cost $800 a month ... but then your child would suffer from air pollution that would lead to deteriorate lung functions and cardiovascular diseases down the road as in leading into adulthood ... would you rethink for a moment ... starting at age 2 exposed for 4-8 hours a day until they turn 5 or 6 before moving them to a public school hopefully not near a freeway ... sinus infection that would lead to asthma, bronchitis etc … even as healthy as your child to begin with, exposure to even second hand smoking is a bad deal starting at a very young age.

why are those preschool given a license? what is the loophole of criteria to open a preschool but not dealing with environmental issue … which also is a health issue … in a virus level … should someone responsible who has the power to change please put this down for any school private or public … do not have schools be built near freeways which is a toxic area.

the worst of all thing ... is be in denial ... seriously it doesn't matter which direction the wind blows ... the worst is when there is no wind to blow anything away and all the pollutants just settle in the air where the children laugh away their lives!

here is a letter in regards to health of children who grow up breathing polluted air:
