>> good story. coming up, is it possible that schools could be making your child sick? there is a hidden problem all-around the country and it's one that kids can't avoid.

the parents at a public school thought they had won the jackpot. the children won the lotly to get the spots and one of the best public elementary schools. the school had a problem. it wasn't the teacher or the test scores or the kids. the problem was the building. it wasn't safe for the children. ps 51 is not alone. it's part of the ongoing reporting and our investigation found that all over the country children are going to schools that can make them sick. our first stop was ps 51. >> mare sol is helping her son get ready for the first day of school. brandon seems excited.

parkinson's cancer or death. tests showed levels at 100 times worse than what's considered safe. >> based on the final test, we thought we needed to shut the building down. . >> parents are upset. >> you are using euphemisms. you are trying to be nice. a building was storing chemicals that were cancer-causing agents and because of the facility and the children that are involved, you didn't care. >> you guys first allowed it to be used as a school for our children. it's so inappropriate. >> parents were more upset by the fact that the department discovered it in january and parents were not told. children were kept in class through the end of the year. >> i voiced my displeasure for as far as the timeliness.

the school board at the time. >> she was put on a nebulizer and steroids and another medication. since she has been at parochial school she hasn't been on any of it. >> the school district spent $16,000 to get rid of the mold at hinsdale and the board is trying to decide whether to close the school temporarily to replace a leaky roof. only about 20 to 30% is susceptible to problems like mold or dust, but for those who are, the symptoms get increasing sever so manstudents and teachers were getting sick with problems that officials decided to tear down mckinley elementary and start from scratch. the school was riddled with mold. >> i started to get sick the second year when they put me in the basement classroom. >> the special ed teacher taught

for 23 years before she was permanently disabled with the lung condition called chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. >> they have mild, moderate, and severe. because i lost 50% of lung capacity, i am moderate. i never had a pain-free day since then. i have chronic pain. i have muscle spasms. >> another source of pain for her, if you ask her if she misses teaching. >> that's a really loaded question for someone loaded to leave the profession when they didn't want to. i'm sorry. >> if you think connecticut is somehow unique consider this. a 2010 survey nationally found 40% of students and staff sickened by the school environment.

not all districts have the money to fix the problem. here at southern middle school, concerns about air quality closed the basement gym. >> there two or three different kinds of mold here. >> when are it rains heavily, it rains into the room. we have the buckets and these trash cans and we collect the water. >> it's raining outside and inside. >> a teacher shot this video. >> what about mold? >> one of the resitual effects would be mold. >> drew is the acting superintendent and he has seen the video and said there is no money to replace that roof. >> the buildings continue to deteriorate and we have a small amount of dollars to spread to

do just minimal things like new roofing. some people say this would never happen. >> the national education association, the largest teacher's union agreed to meet me. >> how big of a problem would i saw indoor air quality is to a student's health? >> right now the last estimates said about 1/3 of our schools. about 1/3 have some kind of problem that causes respiratory problems in children. >> that's remarkable. >> it is horrific. >> would you send your kid to this school? >> to this school? would i send my child to this school? um, for the quality of education that i believe these teachers can provide and the principal will demand, yes. from a facilities standpoint, if i had another option, i would

exercise it. >> you are the superintendent. people are going to be surprised because you are the guy who they are going to say look, make it the school you want to send your kid to. you can't do that. >> i can't with the financial means i have now. >> the solution costs money and it's the right thing to do. the money they need so kids have a healthy place to learn. >> sanjay, that is stunning to hear that superintendent say he couldn't send his own child to the school and something that is intangible. we talk about air and a third of the schools have air that is unhealthy. for parents who are watching and who don't even realize this, is there anything they can look for? >> i think about this all the time and i learned a lot. there some things visiting your kids's school looking for

cleanliness and inspectors do that and you can ask for the roars looking for things like mold that can be a problem in terms of people who are susceptible to it. this idea of busses and cars idling for a long time in front of a school. that was not obvious, but exhaust fumes get into the school. the clusters ever kids. a lot of kids in your class have headaches and asthma, that should be a warning sign as well. >> a great take away for parents. up next, a stunning investigation reveals doctors cheating on medical exams.

it's a critical specialty in medicine and radiologist. these are the doctors who examine x-rays to diagnose if you have a serious disease. to get board certified, radiologists must pass tests in their residency. a cnn investigation found that many of the doctors have taken shortcuts along the way by getting exam questions from doctors who take the tests before. this has been going on for a long time. there is a name for it. recalls. the doctors memorize the questions and write them down and now a national crack down is under way by the group that certifies radiologists that calls the practice downright cheating. drew griffin reports. >> this is absolute definitive

cheating. >> dr. matthew webb is a then your old army doctor accepted to one of the military's largest medical residency programs. a san antonio texas complex that includes the brook army medical center where webb trained as a resident. it wasn't long before he was stunned to learn an open secret about most of his fellow doctors. they were, he says, cheating to pass medical exams. >> it wasn't until i took my physics exam that i found out that the way the residents were studying for the exam was to actually study from verbatim recalled back tests that had been performed by prior residents. >> to be certified by the american board of radiology or abr, doctors must pass two written exams and an oral exam. he took that first exam in the fall of 2008 and to his surprise

he failed the first test that focuses on physics. he said he went to the director of the radiology program at the time. >> he told me that if you want to pass the abr exam, you have to use the recalls. i told him sir, i believe that is cheating and i can do that on my own. he then went on to me you have to use the recalls. almost as if it was a direct order. >> an order easily fulfilled. web found the recalls, the tests almost verbatim on the website for the military residents. cnn obtained all of these tests, at least 15 year of recalls stored on a shared military computer server. the test questions, the answers, even propertied as a power

point. cultivateed fr cultivate and adding them to what appears to be an ever growing database. a glorified cheat sheet. >> they knew about the recalls and the program directors knew about the recalls and the largest portion of people were using them and it was accepted. >> that bothered web not only was this cheating, this was the army. he said his supervisors in uniform didn't seem to care. webb took his complaint of cheating to the board that certified radiologists. dr. gary becker is the american board of radiologist's executive director. pawe're heard about the recall memories come out of the test, you take the next 20 questions. they sound like well organized schemes to skirt the certification you are trying to ensure. >> i don't think we know how well organized they are. we have evidence. >> isn't it cheating? >> we would call it cheating. our exam policy would call it

cheating, yes. >> now for the first time in more than years, the board is revamping the testing procedures. at the same time cracking down because so many certified radiologists may have gained certification at least partially because it was so easy to cheat. right now about half of the written test questions are the same every year. >> we take it seriously. when we put the stamp of certification on an individual, that means that the public has trusted us to do so. >> from any of the investigations or inquiries you have done, you don't have a sense of how long? >> no. it's been going on a long time. i can't give you a date. >> this goes right to the heart of the value of the certification. >> exactly what it's all about. >> we showed becker copies of the recall exams from the military's san antonio program. >> we're are outraged by this and we took this case to our

professionalism committee. the result of the deliberation there is and the decision of the board was to go directly back to the training director and the dean of the institution. we had those discussions. >> here acknowledged the recall were close to the actual test. >> you signed a statement that they know this material is copyrighted. >> that's correct. that's where the illegal comes in. exactly right. >> for could be a crime? >> it could be a crime. >> the military refused to answer questions on camera. they did send a statement acknowledging residents shared exam questions in the past and it does not encourage or condone cheating of any kind. the military admitted faculty members and program directors were aware of the use of recalled examination questions by residents. the military admits a smaller number of faculty and a past

leader encouraged the use of recall questions as one of several toolses to improve medical knowledge and prepare for the exam. the military said the recall exams have been removed from the computers and residents must sign this statement that they won't use them. has the damage already been done? >> dr. webb said to find out these physicians don't have the knowledge and are able to get through by cheating is despicable. do you agree? >> i agree. i agree. now, i can say we don't have any more information on other programs. we haven't heard similar reports from other residents. if and when we hear of any, we will track them down. >> we wanted to find out how widespread the use of recalls really is. so we figured we would come here to chicago to the largest medical convention in the united

states. the radiological society of north america. that draws 60,000 radiologists from around the world. it wasn't long before we started getting answers.

>> cnn investigation reveals that radiologist residents hits a well-known program known as recall test questions for years to prepare for a critical exam. >> the american board of radiologist call this is cheating. as we learned, it doesn't stop there. how widespread is the cheating and also what did doctors have to say about it? drew griffin investigates. >> if you want to find out how widespread it is, there is no better place than chicago's cormick place. radiologists have been gathering here for the largest medical convention in the united states. 60,000 strong. the society of north america is the place to show off new

technology, new techniques and to find out that an out bald and illegal practice has been going on for years. >> dr. kay lo zano, a practicing radiologist for seven years said she never used recalls, but admits they were easy to find. >> i didn't know a person who didn't have access to those, but it was i think part of it is how you use it. >> residents told us off camera recall use is widespread. not just at the army program in antonio, but programs across the country, including prestigious ones like harvard's teaching hospital, massachusetts general. the chief there said he didn't know personally of anyone using recalls, but said we did not officially sank or organize the recalls. >> was using recalls cheating?

>> with something so widespread, it feels less like cheating. >> how it works is simple in a long standing practice. residents take the american board of radiologist's certification test and immediately upon finishing write down a portion of the test they are responsible to recall. >> people decide beforehand which sections will i focus on in terms of trying to recall the questions and answers. immediately after the examination, the residents get together and try to put these down on to paper or word processors to be able to share it with the classes coming behind you. >> dr. june yu said residency programs even share the recalls, helping each other build as close to a copied test as possible. yu said it's not exactly

cheating, especially when passing the test, getting certified could mean the difference between getting a job and being unemployed. >> it's out of necessary to pass the examinations that you have to rely on the recalls. >> yu, lo zano and the doctor said residents have used the recalls as guides to help narrow down topics most likely to be covered on the exam. he said the radiology test is almost impossible to pass without the recall exams because many of the questions are obscure, irrelevant facts. we have known people who tried to study out of the books and the people don't pass that way. >> nonsense said dr. gary becker, executive director at the board of radiology. thereafter are they say they write the questions or random medical facts.

we don't believe that. >> there is no reason to believe the use of the recalls led to n unqualified doctor since they must pass a rigorous oral exam. >> these are doctors and they should be and is a higher standard. >> i agree and that's why the abr does not want to tolerate this behavior. >> do you think it's a big deal? >> yeah and recalls are cheating and it's inappropriate. >> that are may be so. but residency program directors like this doctor who doesn't endorse the use of recalls said it has been going on for so long it's difficult to stop. any resident who speaks out may find few friends come testing. >> if a training is not willing to actually use recall and help them to pass the exam and the particular trapping program is

that every one does it that, particular person can be singled out as the social out cast. >> which brings us back to dr. matthew webb who said that's exactly what happened to him. he said he has been shun said by fellow residents. he was fired from the radiology program after something unrelated to the recalls. he was reprimanded by the army for making sexual comments to another doctor and for other conduct unbecoming an officer. webb calls it a personality dispute that escalated. the army has other plans for dr. webb as this story was being prepared, the army called him in and grill him on why he spoke to cnn. while he remains an army doctor, he fierce his military career is in jeopardy. >> that's fascinating and lots of questions it raises.

drew griffin joins us now. >> here is my question. what is the army say being webb's claim that they wanted to get rid of him? >> they flatly deny they retaliated for speak out about this. we have a document, an army document that said look, this guy was a talented resident who demonstrated conduct unbecoming an officer. what they are saying is he's a good doctor, but not a good soldier. he did have the height to speak out, but they wanted to be notified in advance. >> did you get an idea of how often this occurs? >> we only found hard evidence with the american board of internal medicine. they suspended 139 doctors in 2010 who they found were leaving the exam and going to a test exam company and helping that company to generate a recall exam. the
