Teaching the kids to grow food? Independence? Does the Government know what your up to? This has to stop.

John, as an elementary school teacher I can tell you that there is a correlation between diet and ADHD as you mentioned in your video. I try to encourage parents to explore diet modification as an alternative to medication for children with focusing issues, however, it is much too easy for parents to find a doctor that will give them a prescription for their child; they pass out the drugs like Halloween candy...luckily people like you are spreading the truth about food! Thanks man!

The children love this school.My 2 boys go to this school and the teachers and the way they make learning fun!!!They do sell what they grow and we have the strawberry festival in Feb.The boys actually taught me about recycling and saving Mother Earth!!!!

I was not raised in a household that gardened, I do not yet have a garden BUT it seems logical to me that teaching our children, the next generation to grow their own food as much as possible will be crucial to them being as self sufficent and yes, independent as is humanly possible. Keep up the good work !!

hydroponics vs soil is like giving plants fitness, powertraining, proteins, vitamins and all kinds of supplements to beef them up

This has to be one of the best videos I've seen in a while. I hope those students appreciate this opportunity, and realize how lucky they are to have it.

What a superb example of a learning site at a school - or anywhere for that matter! Thank you for a most enjoyable and informative tour - watched twice and sending it on to others:)
