No one wants to learn lessons that are etched in our memory because of the struggle. Softest generation the planet has ever known. You can all send your rolleyes emoticons my way, and I'll think your soft when you do.:taz:

did I see this here or on fb? if here, sorry for the repost. it's very funny.

 

In general no problem with it. It will not affect most kids adversely. The kids I would be concerned with are those with medical conditions where they have to eat e.g. diabetes. I would hope they have those types of things covered.

 

Other than that, I just don't see this as a big deal either way.

Am I the only one that finds stuff like this tiresome?

 

For God’s sake if my anxious child forgets something – do us all a favor and let me bring it. On the other hand if my happy go lucky kid forgets something, they probably didn’t notice, truly won’t care, and I know they’ll be fine.

 

This policy has zero impact on the future problem solving of my child.

 

Yeah I'm with you.

 

The baby boomer myth of how tough their childhoods were and how strong it made them is ludicrous.

 

Guess what, boomers... you're not that great, your parents were. You're the ones currently dominating business and politics and so it's absolutely ALL YOUR FAULT.

I'm too young to be a baby boomer, and they're still soft.

Kids with diabetes at our school have tubs of food in our office. We met parents know when it is low. If they run out then the school will get them something.

20-30 years ago no sign was necessary, it was just understood.....and when we got home we were told, "I bet it won't happen again".

Brings up a good issue about parents in the school building. I dont think it should be allowed period, for any reason. Think about it, how many of those parents have had a background check done? Does the school really know who they are and their past?

 

Because of Vertus requirements, Catholic schools in Kentucky do not let anyone volunteer at school unless certified. I truly do not see a problem with parents coming to school, do the teachers not want parents to audit (a couple of times a year) their children's classes. From another thread, some of these teachers need supervision, because their behavior is unacceptable, period. Our tax dollars at work in the public system, maybe some on site volunteers need to be requested to become aids for reading. So many inner city young people graduate and are illerate. Is this a local problem, have not volunteered since my boys were in school? Seems like no one wants eyes in the schools except someone on the payroll. My sister volunteered in the Jefferson Co. School System as a reading tutor for years, and my niece received free tuition. Some children do better with a non relative tutor.

I guess I agree with the general premise of the sign, but common sense has to be involved...So if my kid has asthma and forgot his inhaler, sucks to be him? Ludicrous...

When I was in 7th grade our English teacher, who was the nicest and sweetest lady you could ever meet, had a rule if you didn't have your homework. You had 2 choices. You could stay after school for 30 minutes, or you could walk outside in the hallway, and Coach Clark across the hall would bust your butt with his paddle. One day I forgot mine at home. I chose to take the paddling because I had baseball practice after school. I never forgot my homework in that class again. I would love for schools to still be able to implement rules such as the one Mrs. Frailee had.

You have a PhD in taking things to the extremes. I'm quite certain they aren't going to let a kid going into Anaphylactic Shock.

 

In general the sign is great, and certainly sends the right message...and I'm sure they are bright enough to manage the exceptions.

Sign won't hold in this day and age. It's not sensitive enough.

You do realize we pretty much said the same thing, right?

Yes. I just didn't assume they were going to let the asthmatic kid die without an inhaler.

Note to self....Don't use examples when trying to make a point...
