A teacher at a British school in Beijing recently told The Guardian that “Pollution is what all the parents are talking about. More and more ex-pat families are leaving this country for the sake of their kids’ health.” The newspaper quoted her in a story that it was reporting about the dome that the school had erected to protect the students from the deadly air pollution in the city.
