[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I find it hard to believe ALL parents are collectively so afraid of ONE teacher that they would let a child suffer a medical emergency and do nothing (but post cryptically on DCUM.) And if it is true they're pretty crappy people. Seriously, this kid was passed out long enough to be moving her unconscious body around and no one stepped in?[/quote]

No, she wasn't unconscious for more than a moment.  The teacher sent her to the nurse.  I don't think people were afraid exactly.  I don't understand why the parents think this stuff is OK.  They seem to accept it and just shrug it off.  I did speak with the parent.  She took her to the doctor or clinic or something later that day, but the kid was OK.  The parent just didn't seem all that concerned.  I don't get it.  The parents are not afraid - they just seem to think it's not their place to say anything.  The vibe in this school is just weird.  Parents never complain about anything.  One of my friends' kids has peed or pooped in his pants about once a week for most of the school year because the teacher won't let him use the bathroom without asking and he is too embarrassed to ask.  My friend, who is otherwise a normal person, gets angry at her son for not just getting up and going to the bathroom, but won't even speak to the teacher about it.  And she is not afraid of the teacher, either.  I keep asking why she doesn't speak to the school, but she just doesn't seem to think that's the solution.  The parent complacency makes me want to scream.  But I can't be the squeaky wheel - that's already caused my child and me a lot of problems.  [/quote]
