[quote=Anonymous]This is obviously a legal liability issue. You can trust your kid to take Aleve but the school doesn't know if it's Aleve or Adderall or something else, and doesn't know if your kid is sharing the pills with classmates, and doesn't know whether every kid deserves that same trust. It's annoying when rules are written for a few bad actors but I can definitely see why this rule would make sense - it's just an effort to keep kids safe. Can you not imagine a situation in which a kid might get some kind of dangerous pill from a classmate who told her it was just generic Aleve or whatever? There are a million good suggestions on this thread for how to handle this but also, life is not always about what is most convenient for your kid all the time. Sometimes you do things a certain way for the good of the group. Not a bad lesson for her (and you) to internalize.[/quote]
