[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My child just told me they received vision and hearing screenings at school, but I would have thought the school would have let us know in advance. They send home so many messages regarding nonsense like school spirit day, or something like math testing, but no notice about medical screenings??[/quote]

Why would you possibly object or withhold consent?  Do you object to your child hearing and seeing?  [/quote]

Because I'd prefer my children have medical exams conducted in private, with their own medical providers.  Not strangers, surrounded by their peers in  the middle of school.  [/quote]

I think it is an eye chart for the eye screening and a pretty basic hearing test. I remember doing a hearing test as a kid, you listen for a beep and raise your hand for the side you hear the beep on. I know that my child had a letter sent home saying that he "failed" the eye exam and recommending a visit to the eye doctor. We already had DS seeing the eye doctor every year, we both have awful eye sight, and had one scheduled. He told us that he was struggling to see the board at school. He needed glasses for distance.

These are not full exams. You probably had something similar when you were in school. [/quote]
