The Tragedy of America’s Rural Schools Archive.org link
Researchers have consistently found over the last several decades that young people who learn in newer, functional buildings outperform those who attend school in aging or substandard facilities. Students may grow distracted if their classrooms are too hot or too dim to make out the board, and schools with poor ventilation may leave children drowsy as hundreds of teenagers exhale carbon dioxide into the air. In the most dire situations — settings like the ones Holmes County students sat through every weekday — mold can sicken teachers and students enough to miss class.

Awful Trials, With Awful Results | Science | AAAS
many numbers don't seem to add up, a hospital that is listed as participating in the biggest study says that it knows nothing about it, and another one has no phone number or web site, and no one's sure if it even exists. So I think we can drop that one, too, and where does that leave the meta-analyses that people make so much of? Exactly where you think. If passionate conviction could cure people of viral infection, ivermectin would work. But there's no evidence that it does.
