Shocking state capitals test stuns Midwest class

A Chicago reader relays a summer school exercise testing 60 high school juniors and seniors on state capitals. Results show widespread confusion with many naming wrong capitals such as Montgomery, Sacramento, Tallahassee, Atlanta, Des Moines, Topeka, Frankfort, Baton Rouge, Lincoln, Annapolis, Lansing, St. Paul, Carson City, Columbus, Cheyenne, Pierre, Raleigh, Columbia, Dover and more. The note cites dismal geography knowledge and calls for more federal education funds as the country’s schooling system faces its own gaps.

Urinary tract infections in teens by Dr Ushkow

Dr Martin Ushkow explains that UTIs are the second most common infection in youths after respiratory infections. Lower tract infections cause frequent urination and pain, while kidney involvement brings fever and back pain. Bladder infections are more common in girls due to a shorter urethra, with diagnosis via urine analysis and culture. Recurrent infections risk kidney damage. see a Syracuse pediatrician and mail questions to Young Ideas Health.
