[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]They bring service dogs into schools on certain weeks for "mental health" and many students enjoy and use the service. But there's probably an equal number of students who are afraid of dogs even if those particular dogs are meant to be trained therapeutic dogs. Schools should consider having the dogss far far away from areas all students use such as the front lobby and keep them in one room of the school for students needing the service can go get them in that room or meet dogs outside. Just as there's an increase in dogs, there seems to be an increase in people who are allergic to dogs. Allergies to cats and dogs should be the reason businesses should not allow dogs into establishments such as grocery stores, healthcare settings, stores, schools, etc.[/quote]

Those aren't service dogs - they're "therapy dogs" which are basically mellow pet dogs. And the school should stop doing this for a number of reasons

Those dogs make school safe for some kids. While PP's kid may think they're the worst thing, to another kid, they may be the best thing, maybe the only thing about school that feels safe and welcoming.

They shouldn't be everywhere, all the time. They shouldn't be completely banned. They should be an opt-in experience.

Some of y'all are really freakin' unreasonable.[/quote]
