I worked at a place where if you helped an employee in distress you could be fired.
In addition, they had fire extinguishers and we were all trained to use them. But, if we used them to put out a fire instead of running away we would be fired.
An employee felt faint and asked his buddies to take him home. They did. The buddies were too highly placed to fire, so they gathered all of us into the cafeteria and told us we would be fired if we did anything like this again. We were supposed to summon 911 for anything out of the ordinary.
Frankly, I’m tired of our overly safe politically correct world.
Never apologize for doing the right thing. A hearty HUZZAH!
That would be YES
So true
I sometimes think sending a child to public school is a form of child abuse. Not directed at you, but these kind of stories let you know common sense and real learning is not their agenda nowadays.
Bears repeating!
It’s all about authority and indoctrination.
If the country was functioning properly, the teacher would be in prison for reckless endangerment and the principal would be fired.
Email the Superintendent.

It appears to be national news now. The school and the teacher might get raked over the coals now.
I once had a boss with a major drinking problem. He was sitting his car looking like he was ready to kill himself. We were told in no uncertain terms that we would be fired if we intervened. We watched till he came back in the office. I regret not helping him further. I’m still on linked in with him and I think he’s doing well
Funny thing, same company had a gas leak in the lab. As everyone evac’d, I ran out back, shut off the gas and fixed the gas leak. Thought I might get reprimanded but didn’t.
What if the nurse was doing a Hillary and couldn’t get back in time to debate by cell phone what to do in time and the girl had died ???
Well, the e-mail was flagged as urgent. What more could he do?
I wonder if lifeguards at the beach wait for email responses these days?

It's just like being the proverbial fish out of water--an absolute physical hell on earth!
Same sort of thing happened on a school bus. Two girls sitting next to each other when one had an asthma attack; the other girl gave her her own inhaler and saved her life. The girl was suspended for giving out drugs. The current school system is a total joke. Kids there are not educated but harassed at every opportunity with idiotic nonsensical rules. Common sense with these people is like a deodorant. Those that need it don’t use it.
Similar incident on a schoolbus in Maryland about a decade ago. A boy was having a severe asthma attack and about to turn blue. A girl on the bus used her emergency inhaler on him. The ER doctor said that she did exactly the right thing given the severity of the attack. She was suspended and labeled as having a drug problem as a result.
This kind of incident I would expect from a place like Maryland. But a small city in Texas? Not San Antonio, Austin, Houston, etc? I thought we had more common sense than that!
Hey, I'll bet THEIR email servers are secure. ;-)
I homeschooled for 8 years, then broke down and let them go to high school.
My son ended up dropping out after his junior year and finishing up on his own at home.
In my daughter’s case, I think that it was a huge mistake to let her go to public school.
