[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Seriously, this is not your business.

I have had an ambulance called to school because my kid broke their arm in a freak accident. Other children’s medical situations are not the business of the entire community.[/quote]

I disagree, in that there is a happy medium between protecting student privacy and still informing the community. My child has a serious chronic illness, and if one day a message goes out about her, I won't mind at all - I know it will not contain any private information about her disease. Given the heightened state of alert since the Wooton shooting, I think ambulances at any high school should be explained.

Any time something happens at any private or public school, there's always a post admonishing us to mind our business and saying that nothing should be discussed. I don't understand posters like this. The community needs to know a minimum amount of info to prevent rumors and wrong assumptions.

Ok, what if your child has a mental health issue and injured themselves? Would you be fine with that being shared with the community? I appreciate that there are some medical conditions where families might not care so much about privacy but you have to have a consistent set of rules or it doesn’t work.[/quote]

PP you replied to. MCPS never discloses such info. So your question is entirely moot. [/quote]

Right, but give me examples of what the school could communicate in this case that would both protect the students privacy and not leaving you wondering if it was a fight?[/quote]. And so what if it’s a fight. If your kid is a student there they may know. How does any of this (IF) it was a fight provide any meaning to you other than being nosey?[/quote]
