Not the OP, but I understand that the wifi in schools will be much stronger than what would be found in your home.

FTR, I'm one of those people who turns off our wireless internet at night - for simple safety issues (hacking) and because I figure it doesn't hurt to have it turned off in case there is a slight chance of it being risky.

200 times what is in homes

Where is your proof? What unit of measurement exactly are you comparing in home verur commrrcial?

Wireless radiation is emitted by the myriad of wireless devices we encounter every day. It was once thought to be relatively harmless. However, we now know that wireless radiation can cause non-thermal biological effects as well, including damage to cells and DNA, even at low levels.

NP here. If that's true, and it isn't, everyone is screwed whatever they do, so there's no harm in putting in WiFi.

Also, isn't there cell phone service everywhere, which is similar?

Yes it is similar and since you hold the cell phone directly against your head, and therefore an antenna right next to your head, the RF energy exposure is greater. Nuts have tried to say that cell phone use causes brain cancer but the epidemiology has never been proven. Don't you think as long as cell phones have been in use, if there was a causal relationship between RF energy and disfunction at a cellular level, something would have been discovered by now?

The other poster that said the routers were 200 times stronger is an incorrect. It's all RF range within a frequency band is between 2.4 and 5 Mhz for all routers, what makes a router industrial lies within the processor and software.

Additional public meetings are scheduled in the Takoma Park schools at the end of October and the beginning of November. See below:

Why does Takoma Park care?

I am certainly not with MCPS, in fact I have very little respect for MCPS and their ridiculous pseudo-curriculum or even the proliferation of chromebooks as a substitute for textbooks.

What is the unit of measurement you are using for stronger? Please provide the source of your information. What is an rfg?

Educate yourself on the facts.
Try watching the awesome video that features Dr. Hardell and MCPS Chief of Tech.. Decide or yourself what is fact and what is belief.
