[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My 9 year old DD's class has jut started their annual swimming unit in PE. The whole PE period is about 40 minutes. My DD has long, thick hair and it is quite uncomfortable for her to change into her swim suit, swim in the water (which is really quite cold) and get dried off (especially her hair) within this time period. She always says she doesn't have time to get dried off properly and is uncomfortable for the rest of the day. We swim a lot, including doing laps and practicing strokes, outside of school so I really don't see much of a benefit to her participating in the swimming at school. I let the school know, and both the classroom and PE teacher seemed less than pleased[b]. Her PE grade will be lowered, which I don't care a lot about, but am just wondering if I am being unreasonable[/b]. [/quote] Yes you are being unreasonable. You are also making her entitled, which the other kids will be sure to recognize [/quote]
