[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Don't think they are qualified, especially given their record on SN kids and the punitive atmosphere in the MS and HS.  Do you think they might deign to have a school nurse at a PK-4th?  They don't at the present school, serving 600 plus students... mostly in 5th-8th grade.  But you are supposed to leave your inhaler at the door with a designated person at the front desk, and if she isn't there when you need it, well, you can just have an asthma attack while you wait....[/quote]

Why wouldn't a 5th grader just carry an inhaler with them?  He's old enough to know how to use it on his own by then?[/quote]

BASIS for some crazy reason doesn't even allow a 6th grader or a 9th grader to carry one either, or any medication fr that matter, while at our DC ES they were permitted to as of 3rd grade and we had a spares in the nurse's office.[/quote]

That's illegal.  The doctor makes the decision about whether a kid is ready to self carry and self administer emergency meds in DC, not the school

Why do BASIS parents let the school push them around like that?

Is the BASIS environment really worth risking your kid's life every day? Why?  Because it lets you stay in DC?  Because you can boast about how many AP's they took?[/quote]

You're right, PP.  It's not worth it.  So, we left.[/quote]
