A lot of what we recommend at LRPAC is modernizing schools, including fixing airflow as pointed out by @waldo.net. It can be expensive but if addressed regularly across all schools, it can improve student and employee performance.

Temple University's Kathy Hirsh-Pasek compares media consumption to a diet. If you cut out nutritious food, children will either turn toward more unhealthy food, like desserts, or eat less in general, akin to going hungry. She views the funding hit against PBS in the same vein. (via @edsurge.com)
