Do you raise corn. If so let the corn get about 6 inches high then put a pole bean next to it. It will run that way and no need to buy fencing or poles. It won't choke the corn out either. kill 2 birds with one stone so to speak.
I didn't say kick out all allergic kids. But to make a huge burden on a large population for the sake of one who could die if their environment isn't sanitized so to speak is wrong. I did home school my children. So you can't even argue with me on that. Like I said. There are programs for special needs children. That include providing for all materials and if need be teachers and tutors in a private setting for a child.
My son is autistic in fact he was diagnosed with Landau Klefner with autism secondary. We didn't even ask for help from the district for his needs We did what we had to do. As far as single parent's well Private school paid for under the 509 category for special needs is an option.
I've paid taxes just like you. I can speak my mind and I'm not trying to be insensitive but practical. If people are not willing to do for their kids what truly might need to be done then it's not the responsibility of the people to bend over backwards for them.
This is the main reason why there is so much problems with our country. This person or that person is entitled to such and such.
It's like this. If the school system accepts the responsibility for the safety of the child knowing that the child can die from even smelling peanuts and someone brings them in to the school and get';s close enough or even hands the kid one not knowing then the school is financially liable for that action.
That in turn places the burden on the taxpayers because when the Parent's of said child sues the school into oblivion because the school took on the responsibility then the money taken away from the school to pay for said child's medical care pain and suffering and lifetime maintenance adds up to tens of millions of dollars that could have gone to educate how many kids through time.
As far as one parent going along that's fine just have to keep the child right by the teacher or the parent and not let anyone get close to the kid. Not sure how you would feel but if I were going on a trip I would not want to be baby sat right next to the teacher or parent and them telling everyone don't touch or come near until you have washed your hands.
I agree with you to a point. There has to be an end to giving in to one person's desires to have something that may not be in that persons best interest or the best interest of his fellow students. In this circumstance Home school would be best and there are home school groups where parent's get together for social event's for the children. They usually have it better than the ones on public schools.
I did the home school for my children. They got to go places and do things growing up that no other children did or may ever do in their lives. I didn't ask for a penny from the school system. I footed the bill on my own.
Again the ban is fine but the school won't be able to enforce it without having backpack checks every morning and then your gonna have people complaining that the school treats the children like prisoners checking their stuff just to get into the school. Much like trying to fly here in the us now. Soon there will be strip searches with x-ray machines at each entry just to make sure that nothing with peanuts of peanut ingredients get in.
It will go bad and then what? There has to be a line somewhere.
Yes but suppose this kids class goes to a school function like the zoo. Some kids buy peanuts to feed the animals and forget to wash their hands. Touch the kid or shake hands. Now the kid not knowing that this person has touched peanuts and then eats a sandwich or a snack. now he/she has been exposed to the peanuts and his reaction kicks in. then what.
Only thing I see coming out of this is the parent's see dollar signs from being able to sue the school for failing to protect the child. It works both ways. At what point does the school system say sorry but we just can't take the responsibility. Here is the title 10 funding get what you need and hope he/she grows out of the allergy. when/if they do then they are welcome to come back.
Too many uncertain things can go wrong for this to end well.
As far as making concessions I can agree to it but only if the reactions to allergies are medim to mild if it's sever enough to cause almost instant death the kid would be better off staying home and the heck with social integration in a school setting.
There are homeschool groups all over this country for just that sort of social interaction between children.
Here in the US I believe it's title 10. If a child has a sever medical need that precludes the child from being in the classroom or other activities due to medical necessity then it is the obligation of the school district with the use of federal funds to ensure that child get;s the same education if possible.
That includes paying for private tutoring and any other needs of the child. Homeschooling is cheap as it is and if the school district has to pay for certain things then it's even cheaper. There is also teleconferencing and it is being used in the classroom by children that are unable to be in the classroom. All paid for by the taxpayers of America. No excuse to place your child in and uncontrollable environment if absolutely not necessary.
I used to get sick all the time when I was active duty. Got out and after a couple of years I quit getting sick. All those dang shots and stuff really messes up a person's system. Now if I get a bug it's gone and over within 24 hours.
From what I heard on the radio about this kid. Any exposure to peanut;s would kill him/her. You can bet that the school is gonna have a problem at some time. Some low income family may send their kid to school with peanut butter and crackers for a snack and then no knowing or caring about others is gonna have a huge impact.
If you want to understand better why so many states—from New York to Wisconsin to California—are teetering on the brink of bankruptcy, consider this depressing statistic: Today in America there are nearly twice as many people working for the government (22.5 million) than in all of manufacturing (11.5 million). This is an almost exact reversal of the situation in 1960, when there were 15 million workers in manufacturing and 8.7 million collecting a paycheck from the government.
It gets worse.More Americans work for the government than work in construction, farming, fishing, forestry, manufacturing, mining and utilities combined. We have moved decisively from a nation of makers to a nation of takers. Nearly half of the $2.2 trillion cost of state and local governments is the $1 trillion-a-year tab for pay and benefits of state and local employees. Is it any wonder that so many states and cities cannot pay their bills?
Every state in America today except for two—Indiana and Wisconsin—has more government workers on the payroll than people manufacturing industrial goods. Consider California, which has the highest budget deficit in the history of the states. The not-so Golden State now has an incredible 2.4 million government employees—twice as many as people at work in manufacturing. New Jersey has just under two-and-a-half as many government employees as manufacturers. Florida's ratio is more than 3 to 1. So is New York's.
Even Michigan, at one time the auto capital of the world, and Pennsylvania, once the steel capital, have more government bureaucrats than people making things. The leaders in government hiring are Wyoming and New Mexico, which have hired more than six government workers for every manufacturing worker.
Took about a week researching the deed went all the way back to early 1800's. It's a pain. Here there are dedicated title search company's that give a guarantee up to the amount of the purchase price. If all is good then you only really need an attorney to sign and notarize the final paperwork. But it does take a lot of time and most people are working at the same time and no one want's to take time off to do it.
People can nothing against the law about it. But most Americans don't want to take the time to do the leg work. Not sure about Ireland but here to do it properly You would need to do a land survey, Title search to make sure it's clear don't want some great great great grandkid showing up with some paper saying it's theirs legally. Lot's to do to make sure you are getting what your buying. Realtor's can make it easier and they are insured incase they screw up. Your not.
My prayers are for the people of Japan. I had the privilege of living there for 2 years. One of the most beautiful and friendliest of all the places I've been.
kagero please stay safe and I sincerely hope you are doing well.
Oh yeah. Easter weekend 07 and 08 it snowed abut 3 inches each. Not unusual but a rarity. This is red bud winter and sometime next week will be dog wood winter than should be fairly smooth sailing after. 99.9% guarantee that after mid Apr no more freezes.

RE: Money
Nope. Not even close. The persons attitude toward friends and family and anyone they may meet; I feel are the major factors.
