Don't you know you are responsible for driving kids to the building, feeding the kids, protecting the kids, ensuring they have up to date vaccinations, eye exams, hearing exams identifying if they are suicide, abuse or any other risk, providing them with clothing and ... oh yeah teaching so that they are competitive for global work force expectations that have yet to develop. Didn't you know you are also suppose to provide on sight medical care too?<br /><br />Sorry, not trying to be a jerk, but maybe a parent might need to take their lunch hour to come give their own child their insulin shot instead of cruising facebook at noon while they eat their lean cuisines.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5776587.post-11147531590498999522014-01-29T20:58:46.467-05:002014-01-29T20:58:46.467-05:00As an employee of Cassidy, this article is laden w...As an employee of Cassidy, this article is laden with errors. I don't want to breach confidentiality, but the father's accusations about the school, and about school health care for the boy in question, are simply not correct.<br /><br />I studied the idea of truth in the media in college.

You spend four years and then two more taking course work to be an educator and then legislature keeps dropping these non teaching expectations in your lap with the idea that a few hours of PD will make you into a medical assistant or suicide prevention counselor. We don't ask nurses to help kids with their math homework, so why are we expecting educators to provide medical care?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
