In this situation common sense would have sufficed unfortunately bureaustocracy doesn’t do common sense.
All authority has been taken from the teachers and they have been taught to blindly follow orders. The result is stupidity squared.
I'll say no more than that.
Big frigging lawsuit.
“Academics” are often the most narrow-minded, bureaucratic, and obtuse people you will ever meet.
It seems to be a paradox, but the times have given it proof.
This is when I regret not going to law school.
There should be a criminal investigation, in my opinion
They should be fired and prosecuted for child endangerment. Prison time for these gd idiots. And sue the district for million$.
Keyona is going to own that school district, as she should. Idiots.
This is how stupid liberals are. These are the same people who must have the government order their lives because they simply cannot think for themselves.
The only way they can live is if someone tells them what to do or forces them to do it. Their lives must be ordered for them like a paint-by-the-numbers picture. They simply are incapable of thinking for themselves, and this is what happens! Adults making children stand outside in the dead of winter sopping wet in a swimsuit!
I am thinking that the swimming pool would be a relatively safe place during a fire unless the smoke gets bad...
If this was a real alarm triggered by a science experiment the local Fire Department should have been on scene and could have at least provided a blanket. Are school official at that school total nincompoops and couldn’t have helped this girl? The school deserves to be sued big time and the administrators that allowed this to happen should be fired. Of course the union will defend them and nothing will happen to them.
Fire drill, so possibly a fire. What better, safer place to be than in a pool full of......water.
While I hope the school is successfully sued and the authorities who insisted that she go outside are fired, I have to wonder about the girl herself. What happened to “You people are insane. It’s below zero outside and I am soaking wet. I’m not going.”
What utter stupidity. Yeah, in a real fire, you want to make sure everyone gets out quickly, and yeah, you want the students to take the fire drills seriously. But did NO ONE consider the possibility there might be a fire when some kids are in P.E.? Just being in gym shorts and a t-shirt is potentially life-threatening in that kind of weather. But to put a kid out there in a wet swimsuit?!?
There is absolutely no reason the school couldn’t (and didn’t) have contingency plans in place for something like this. I’m not sue-happy, but this was inexcusable negligence.
It is absolutely astounding how so many school officials—all of whom hold advanced degrees—are so lacking in common sense
