I've been a teacher for more than 3 decades now and something I've realized is that students learn best when the classroom is lit by incandescent bulbs. Maybe 15 years ago, I saw some academic studies attesting to this and explaining how the different types of light waves from LED, fluorescent, and incandescent bulbs all affect the brain differently.
I know school districts want to pinch pennies and yes, fluorescent and LED bulbs are cheap, but the social benefits of a better educated and mentally stable workforce far outweigh cost concerns about light bulbs.

Yep. Overhead lights off, curtains open and a few well- placed lamps with incandescent bulbs changes the classroom.
