Today Show (click here to see story)
I saw this on the Today show and was so disappointed by these parents and their response to a child having a severe peanut allergy. A little background if you don't watch the clip. A little girl has a severe peanut allergy and her class has to wash their hands twice a day (when school starts and after lunch) and wipe off their mouth after lunch. Parents are asking the school district where are my child's rights in all of this. They are complaining that it is taking too much time out the school day and are even protesting outside of the school. Some parents who are for the little girl and the little girl with the allergy are being kept out of school until the issue gets resolved. (Don't agree with that, but that's a different issue.)
Being in the classroom and having Calvin with his allergies I am so frustrated in hearing these parents. No wonder today's society has no respect for people. These parents are teaching their children to be anything but selfish. It doesn't take more than 5 minutes to wash hands and after lunch is usually a restroom break anyways so I am not understanding these arguments against this little girl. I feel bad for this family and I hope she wins this fight against the school. Until these negative parents walk a day in the life of having a child with allergies, I think they need to keep their negative comments to themselves. I feel if it was their child, they would be doing everything in their ability to keep their child safe, just like the parents of this little girl are doing.
DING... your couch session is up. Come back next week. That stinks that parents are like that, sorry their children are having to wash their hands and practice propper hygiene.
