38. Gym class can be spread out a great deal.

Some kids may be in the locker, etc...

Heck, there's no way that a single teacher can watch every kid in a regular classroom to the extent where something like this could be definitively stopped, especially if the teacher wants to actually teach the kids.

If a friend at school gave my daughter prescription meds [View all] Snake Alchemist Feb 2012 OP

why is the school responsible for what you/your daughter's friends do? nt msongs Feb 2012 #1

They are supposed to be supervising while on school grounds. nt Snake Alchemist Feb 2012 #2

That would surely involve the use of surveillance cameras EVERYWHERE on campus.. left coaster Feb 2012 #5

It would depend how obvious it was. Snake Alchemist Feb 2012 #9

So you expect a gym teacher Kellerfeller Feb 2012 #64

Read the OP. nt Snake Alchemist Feb 2012 #65

Your definition of "out in plain sight" is vague Kellerfeller Feb 2012 #70

I believe plain sight has a pretty specific definition. nt Snake Alchemist Feb 2012 #73

Something a mile away is in plain sight Kellerfeller Feb 2012 #79

Definition Snake Alchemist Feb 2012 #80

Thanks! Kellerfeller Feb 2012 #83

If you say so. nt Snake Alchemist Feb 2012 #86

How are they supposed to know everything that goes on on school grounds? montanto Feb 2012 #7

So if it happened in your daughter's bedroom, you'd blame yourself? muriel_volestrangler Feb 2012 #13

If it happened in my living room while we were watching TV then yes. Snake Alchemist Feb 2012 #17

If they were supervising in a manner that would guarantee that such a thing could not happen... HuckleB Feb 2012 #29

You know how many kids have sex in middle schools and high schools every day? XemaSab Feb 2012 #31

During class? If they're missing that then I can see the problem. nt Snake Alchemist Feb 2012 #41

Sorry, that won't fly. The schools generally EXPELL any student found 1monster Feb 2012 #43

That makes sense. Thanks for the clarification. nt Snake Alchemist Feb 2012 #46

Deep pockets. ohiosmith Feb 2012 #3

I agree completely. nt madmax Feb 2012 #27

Exactly. HuckleB Feb 2012 #28

So you would sue a school girl for being ignorant while trying to help your daughter? yellowcanine Feb 2012 #4

Ignorance is not an excuse. Snake Alchemist Feb 2012 #6

Bad examples. Plumbers and doctors are paid professionals. A school girl is .....a school girl. yellowcanine Feb 2012 #57

Then it's even worse because they have no technical skills. Snake Alchemist Feb 2012 #58

You are a seriously confused person. yellowcanine Feb 2012 #59

Try opening a DU thread saying that you are having strange symptoms and ask Snake Alchemist Feb 2012 #60

Some people see dollar signs in everything. ScreamingMeemie Feb 2012 #11

Yes. Snake Alchemist Feb 2012 #14

You mean like the ignorance your daughter demonstrated Kellerfeller Feb 2012 #66

And I would take that into account. Snake Alchemist Feb 2012 #72

And then I assume you would also then compensate Kellerfeller Feb 2012 #77

Doesn't quite work that way. Snake Alchemist Feb 2012 #78

Drunk driving is illegal Kellerfeller Feb 2012 #81

They might. Snake Alchemist Feb 2012 #85

If they had time to react and didn't Kellerfeller Feb 2012 #96

Not necessarily. Snake Alchemist Feb 2012 #98

Yeah... ScreamingMeemie Feb 2012 #8

And sometimes that is how OP's are born. nt Snake Alchemist Feb 2012 #10

Not really. But we can disagree. ScreamingMeemie Feb 2012 #15

Is there really ever a net? Can you quantify emotional damage? nt Snake Alchemist Feb 2012 #18

Can you quantify the crappy state of existence that your world of constant lawsuits would create? HuckleB Feb 2012 #32

I can form an opinion. ScreamingMeemie Feb 2012 #34

That's fine. Until it happens to the next person with different results. nt Snake Alchemist Feb 2012 #37

The world you want would lead to some rather horrific results and costs. HuckleB Feb 2012 #39

Sounds like libertarian bullhockey to me. nt Snake Alchemist Feb 2012 #40

Hardly. HuckleB Feb 2012 #42

I believe in accidents. Sorry, but I am not sue crazy. And there is no ScreamingMeemie Feb 2012 #48

So you at lease required a review of the prep nurses procedures by the hospital? Snake Alchemist Feb 2012 #50

What happened to me was sorry enough. Thank you for caring. ScreamingMeemie Feb 2012 #52

Suing someone will definitely force the hospital to fire someone who is not competent. Snake Alchemist Feb 2012 #53

We will have to agree to disagree on this. ScreamingMeemie Feb 2012 #54

I hope so and I hope it was not a training issue. nt Snake Alchemist Feb 2012 #55

It was an oversight, due to rushing in the early AM, which they acknowledged. ScreamingMeemie Feb 2012 #56

Umm... oh never mind. PotatoChip Feb 2012 #61

You can ask anything. ScreamingMeemie Feb 2012 #62

No PotatoChip Feb 2012 #63

i would sue if and only if actual damage resulted slackmaster Feb 2012 #12

Agreed. Snake Alchemist Feb 2012 #16

Why not tell people the facts of your hypotheical. That this thread was influence by this one; Justice wanted Feb 2012 #19

If the young girl 1 asked for something because she didn't feel well and the girl 2, gave it southernyankeebelle Feb 2012 #20

True. I would hold them partially responsible. Snake Alchemist Feb 2012 #21

If girl 1 didn't feel well she should of asked her teacher if she could go to the nurse. southernyankeebelle Feb 2012 #22

Absolutely. nt Snake Alchemist Feb 2012 #23

Most schools don't have nurses, or anyone who fills that role. CaliforniaPeggy Feb 2012 #24

Go to the office ask the adminstrator at the front if you can call your parent because you are ill. southernyankeebelle Feb 2012 #25

That would probably work. CaliforniaPeggy Feb 2012 #26

I think so also. However, if the school wouldn't let her call her parent and my child got southernyankeebelle Feb 2012 #30

You ever had an asthma attack? JoePhilly Feb 2012 #82

Yes, but you are an adult. JoePhilly Feb 2012 #107

How does it being in gym class make it any different than any other time? HuckleB Feb 2012 #33

You don't see any difference between being in a supervised class setting and Snake Alchemist Feb 2012 #36

Gym class can be spread out a great deal. HuckleB Feb 2012 #38

True, but I believe this was out in the open during the class. Snake Alchemist Feb 2012 #47

How would anyone know? HuckleB Feb 2012 #49

I changed my OP because you convinced me. Snake Alchemist Feb 2012 #51

I think you should also burn the buildings and salt the fields REP Feb 2012 #35
