[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My school tends to be pretty caring, but I did attend a field trip to Elleanor C Lawrence park.  The kids got to use a net in the pond, then dug up worms. They were not encouraged to bring water.  None of the children had water the whole time, and 50% of the time, we stood in the hot sun.  My dd had water since I brought it for her.  I felt really bad that the children went all morning outside in the sun with nothing to drink.  [/quote]

No kid is going to die from a morning field trip without a personal water bottle.  :roll: [/quote]

It hasn't been that hot here. One morning outside is healthy, not dangerous.[/quote]

It was in the high 80's today, with high humidity.  A kid can absolutely die from dehydration and heat stroke.  Plenty have.  Are you a pediatrician?  I'm guessing not.  Like the teachers involved, you make decisions that hurt kids out of complete ignorance.  [/quote]

No, I grew up in Texas, where kids have died of heat stroke in August while wearing football uniforms. Not playing outside in the morning in May.[/quote]

Seriously, we never had water bottles at our desks growing up. We drank water at recess if we were thirsty. The troll's story keeps changing, first the girl fainted and was on the ground while the teacher ordered the kids to keep working in front of other parents. Then the parent took the kid to the hospital. The story changed to make the girl fainted for a second which may or may not have anything to do with water. Then the girl's parent took her not to the hospital but to a clinic or doctor. Maybe it wasn't two days in a row. Try and keep your made up story straight.[/quote]
