Teachers/Poor Judgement

[Guest guest]

Hi List,

I need to vent and maybe get some feedback before I decide what to say

to the school principal tomorrow a.m.

has been fighting a horrible cold ( doing extra nebs and vests to

try to get on top of it) and came home today with this news of his P.E.

class. Today, in temperatures in the low-mid 40's, the substitute P.E.

teacher decided to hold class outdoors ( for the first time since the

weather turned cold.) The jist of this is, the kids in my son's class were

outside for 30-40 minutes in mid 40 degree temps in just their gym shorts

and T-shirts! They were not given the option of wearing a coat or even

missing the class and going to the library or some other activity. The

required " uniform " for P.E. is gym shorts and T-shirts so all the students

in the class were attired this way!

The Mom in me is just livid! I feel that this was poor judgement plain

and simple, but I am angry that someone with this poor judgement could be

put in charge of a class with no regard for their health and safety!

I ( being a completely over-protective parent), am planning on speaking

with the principal in the morning and voice my opinion and concerns

(politely of course).

Am I over-reacting? I really feel that this put all students at risk

and not just my child with CF. I still cannot believe the stupidity of the

situation! The first time told me I thought he was joking!

Laurie,

I would be mad also, even if it was my oldest daughter who is completely

healthy. But then again I am an over protective mother also, lol.

pachygyria, and possible Cystic Fibrosis. The list is growing.

Laurie,

If there is anyone in his P.E. class that you have a phone number for call

their parents and see if their child says the same thing. You'll need back

up first probably. Even if your child has CF....there is still no reason why

they needed to go outside! I would put up a BIG stink also! This is why we

need 504's!!!!!
