Do Schools Have The Right?

By Angelina Vick

Schools are working hard to educate our children. I have the utmost respect for teachers, it’s not a job for glory or money, and it’s a heart of service that calls people to teach. Schools aren’t just about learning though, they are political machines and run by such standards, which regularly alter their course. Almost anywhere there is power you can also find abuse of it.

Recently a round of head colds hit my house. The day it hit my daughter I decided she should stay in bed to rest. The next morning I checked her, she had no fever, she wasn’t throwing up but she was coughing and wheezing. I decided she was well enough to go to school, but not well enough to participate in athletics. For the first time in the school year, I wrote a note asking for her to be excused from it and dropped her off.

I picked my daughter up to discover the coach said my note “wouldn’t work” and my daughter was forced to participate in athletics. My parental judgment had been over ridden. It was made clear to me that my daughter was subjected to an unwritten policy of which I was never made aware--students must have a note from a doctor specifically stating they cannot participate in athletics in order to be excused from such activity.

A policy that effectively states that the administration considers a parent’s judgment invalid concerning their own child’s ability to physically train, and requiring for a parent to pay money to go to a doctor to get a note. It’s insulting. Parents are not aware of the policy, they aren’t allowed to excuse their own children for the good of their health and they have to pay for a doctor’s visit just to prove a kid needs a day off? It’s all wrong.

Two days later my supervisor called me into an office. Innocent things I had been doing for months turned into a pile of complaints as soon I protested the issue of my daughter being subjected to an unwritten policy against my expressed wishes. I was told to drop it, and if any more complaints were received I would be fired. Fifteen minutes later I quit, because I choose my daughter over a job.

In my opinion, the Caddo Mills administration has forgotten that they are public servants, but maybe they aren’t the only ones. Little by little the parental choices of the American people are being slowly overridden, supposedly for our own good. Suggested shots are mandatory for school attendance, middle school students are subjected to drug tests, and it goes on and on. Is this the icing on the cake, schools can make up whatever policies they feel like, and not even tell parents the policy? Can they enforce them without permission from parents and bully anyone against them? Apparently, in Caddo Mills Texas they can and do.

Where does this stop? Do schools have the right to do anything they want?

Am I in America or have I entered the twilight zone?

At one point in one book, Edward says to Bella "only you can bring back and extinct race of werewolves"

Or something close to that.

Why did he say that? Did she bring them back or did the vampires?

Or something close to that. Why did he say that? Did she really bring them back or did they come back because of the vampires?

I am very large busted, 40DD. All natural btw. I hate bras that have any cushion in them, I know they are more supportive but they make my chest look even bigger and I don't like how it feels. I don't like bras with underwires either. They bend and break and get on my nerves when the push under my breast.

So I usually buy kinds that are very thin fabric, with a thin or no underwire. Now I'm a little concerned they may end up at my bellybutton when I'm 50 so I bought some very supportive Playtex bras.

MY chest hurts after I take them off to go to bed at night???

Does that make sense? Anyone else have this problem?

My husband and I have been married 12 years, we have 2 children who are 9 and 11. We are considering adopting children.

Now I'm thinking, I don't even know if we can. I'm bipolar, would that stop me from being able to adopt?
