Another idiotic school policy that hurts children.

[Hassin Bin Sober]

82. That other poster is absolutely blaming BOTH the parent and the school.

Why can't you see that?

If the mother wasn't aware the child needed sunscreen for the outing, then why is she making a very weak excuse for not applying sunscreen?

If she didn't know about the policy, why didn't she send the kid to school with sunscreen? Then we could all discuss the kid having the SC taken away and THEN getting burned.

Why not apply sunscreen in the morning? A high-block sunscreen would have prevented most of that burn regardless off her weak-ass excuse of not being able to re-apply. It doesn't even make any sense to skip sunscreen all together because you can't re-apply. And the "rain" excuse doesn't cut it. Ever heard of water resistant sunscreen? An umbrella? Does she send the kids out in the rain unprotected too? The water resistant SC I used when swimming must be a figment of my imagination.


Why didn't the mother know the policy? Is she stupid? Lazy?

Why didn't the mother get a note from the doctor? The kid has a known medical condition. A doctor could have faxed a letter. A doctor's note for something like that is the easiest type of note to get.

The mother had the FIRST duty to protect her child and failed - either out of stupidity or laziness or both.

The school had the SECOND duty to protect the child and failed - either out of stupidity or laziness or both.

Of course the school apologized. They failed in THEIR end of the deal. And their policy need to be altered. But the mother has a lot of nerve making those weak-ass excuses and failing to take ANY blame.
