I don’t understand, if someone is that near to death that they need DNR with them, why are they even in school?

Nopt to be cold, but why would any parents let a kid out of their sight for 6-8 hours a day when every day could be their last?

Good question.

In your heart, you know the answer to this, that is, if the DNR isn't enough.

I was thinking the same thing.

I’m with you, I don’t understand why this child is in school, first off she can’t walk, talk, do anything for herself and her brain was deprived of oxygen at birth, what can she possibly be learning, secondly, if my child was this close to death I would not let her/him out of my sight, I’d want to spend every waking moment with my child.

Sorry - I responded so fast I hadn’t read your messages saying the same thing. I am sure the parents want breaks from her care, but that is why there are nurses and state respite care.

It always bothered me terribly when I’d go to a conference for parents of kids with learning differences and the parent would say that the child was being mistreated day after day at the school. HELLLOOOO? Take him out of there! Same thing here. This child would be happier in her home, maybe with a nurse taking her to the park each day, etc.

Let the schools educate those who need to learn.

Exactly ! Probably free babysitting for the parents.
