Third graders at Public School 103 in the north Bronx sat on a rug last month while their teacher, Kristy Neumeister, led a book discussion.

The book, “Rain School,” is about children who live in a rural region of Chad, a country in central Africa. Every year, their school must be rebuilt because storms wash it away.

“And what’s causing all these rains and storms and floods?” asked Ms. Neumeister.

“Carbon,” said Aiden, a serious-looking 8-year-old.

Ms. Neumeister was one of 39 elementary school teachers from across the city who participated in a four-day training session in the summer called “Integrating Climate Education in N.Y.C. Public Schools.” Its goal was to make the teachers familiar with the topic, so they can work climate change into their lesson plans.

They aren't teaching kids about climate change... WHAT? Am I the only one shocked by this? I definitely learned about global warming in school in the early 2000s.

It depends on the state I'm surprised in a blue state it's not taught. I learned about it in NH but there they care about the environment. They are the ones to push for no mercury in batteries. Mostly because of fishing and hunting but they cared at least.
