Last year, Palmer’s two children aged six and 10, often came home from school feeling feverish. He says that the illnesses stopped when they were transferred this September to Pretty River Academy, a private school in Collingwood, Ont., which only uses wired Internet connections.

That actually could be a concern, especially if other kids come home from school feeling ill. There could be mold growing somewhere, like in the ventilation system or carpets. Or there could be a source of bacteria, or fumes from something. Removing the kids from that environment *would* cause an improvement.

Of course, the idea that Wi-Fi poses a health risk is ludicrous. Now, if they were against Wi-Fi because kids don't seem to be learning all that well, and computers and internet are present in more schools than ever--well, that would be a different matter.

Mold is another one of those things that gets over blown.

I grew up on a farm in the Midwest. Mold was all over outside in the barns and in the old houses.

Might be because we were exposed to it all the time.
