I just requested the name of their licenser and that's the response: A copy of your contract is in his backpack. I have told you our school policy regarding sunscreen (see previous email), as have ....'s teachers. Please, understand that we have a lot on our plates and cannot continue to debate this topic. Our rules are in place to safeguard the children in our care. Please, supply ... with a commercial sunscreen or one prescribed by pediatrician with prescription…or accept his remaining in the shade during recess. Thank you.

Quoting: Lilac.Nights I'll most definitely whip something up Any good recipes for sunscreen, that look and feel like sunscreen? What do you guys/girls think of raw shea butter, virgin coconut oil with a touch of aloe vera. it will look white, creamy and spreadable. or the spraying kind from just aloe very juice with avocado oil? But didn't they say the sun screen has to be government approved? If you make your own 'perfectly safe' sunscreen they will write that off as you being an awkward/ attention seeking Munchhausen bi-proxy candidate. Just meet them half way and then if your child's skin reacts you have a case you can hit them in the balls with and leave. It will make them look bad and you look like a good mother who 'tried' their best. If you can't beat them, fuck them up. If I do that I would use a legitimate bottle, it will not look like a "homemade concoction" Oh and that will really pull the wool over their eyes, not to mention it will not keep as long and it won't smell the same. It will last just fine. I've been making my own cosmetics, lotions, sunscreens, and salves for years. If there's a concern about the scent, buy coconut essential oil. But since all sunscreens smell different, and some are unscented, it shouldn't be a problem. OP you can look up recipes online for homemade body lotion. |

Quoting: Lilac.Nights My son goes to a small private school in WA, he is in second grade. I was just informed that the school's policy is "no sunscreen/no play in the sun". My son is made to stay in a tiny corner of the playground that provides shade for every recess, just because I refuse to put sunscreen on him. I've already explained that he suffers from eczema and the last year haves and I will not put anything on him. I don't even use soap. Nothing.... First of all our kids are so low on vit D that they need some sun exposure, second we are not on the equator for god's sake, we are in the Northern WA, you can barely get enough sun if you expose your whole naked body to it. The only naked parts on my son are his face, hands and bellow the knees. This is just retarded. Don't you hate it when the school tries to be the parent? This resembles to the T how we were treated during the communism. I emailed his teacher and that's her reply: "Yes, you may send your own sunscreen. It needs to have a manufacturer's label showing the SPF. Our licensing policy prohibits us from allowing kids to play in the sun without sunscreen. If you have any further questions, please contact..." Any help is greatly appreciated! You picked it AND pay for it. Derp I was not made aware of that "policy" Then you're an idiot for not reading the fine print, dumbass. Derp. |

Derp ^^^^ signed Derp Well Derp how about the school stay the hell out of all chemical and medical decisions of the parents. If it was not in the contract then the licensing issue is the schools problem not the parents problem. But what is this "licensing"? I assume the school needs to have a policy as part of getting a license in order to open. That policy is strictly the school creation + whatever is required by law. Is this correct so far? How is it legal for a school to have a policy that requires application of a chemicals to a child? Even the government cant do that. Because they're a private school, you fucking twit. Are you dense or what? |

Although I agree with you that the sunscreen requirement seems over-zealous, there is nothing illegal or improper about it and comes out of "good intentions." Also, since this is a private school, you are free to withdraw your child, so in that respect, you have no legal recourse. So, if you can't put sunscreen (or are afraid to put sunscreen on your child), what do you do at home? Maybe check out EWG (Environmental Working Groups) guide to sunscreens, maybe there is a product in the myriad of available sunscreens that might actually work. [link to www.ewg.org] Short of that, I would suggest requesting a meeting and try to negotiate some sort of resolution...which is likely that your son, for better or worse, will need to wear long pants, long sleeved shirt and wide brim hat to play outside.

I replied back that he wasn't himself, and that he was glassy eyed, and complaining of stomach pain. She emailed me back and would have continued if I replied. Her husband came to me the next day to apologize for his wife's behaviour. He said she had lost her job and was stressed. He also told me not to reply at all to any of her future emails because she will continue them ALL day. Hence the reason I don't engage via email for anything the least bit serious. |

(OP) User ID: 33914227 United States 06/12/2015 05:09 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | For people that want to follow my non story : I was able to put my hands on their policy, so this is what's there regarding sunscreen: "...Weather permitting, children and teachers will be outside at least twice per day. Children will wear sunscreen for outdoor activities in sunny weather, and drinking water is always available. ..." So it looks like there's nothing there regarding what will happen with kids that do not wear sunscreen, on one other part of the policy they say that they will provide alternative entertainment for kids that do not participate in certain activities. Then why was my son made to sit by himself in a corner of the yard while other kids are playing? on the other hand we have this: "Nonprescription Medication Nonprescription medication in the following categories may be given with the written consent of the parent. Dosage, duration, and method of administration must comply with manufacturer’s label of the age and weight of your child. antihistamines non-aspirin fever reducers/pain relievers decongestants anti-itching ointment sunscreen diaper ointments and/or powders" I was told by one of my son's teachers that sunscreen WAS applied once without my written consent, clearly violating their own policy. I'm speaking with a lawyer within one hour. I'm going to see if I can get out of the contract. I do not wish to pay a school that calls parents questions "nagging". |

That teacher is new and is white American. The rest are all Indian born." What did you mean by that? It is not the same school. That teacher in the Montessori school was completely out of place there. I tried to warn the school about her. They heard my concerns and agreed that her way of teaching is not acceptable. She was using some stupid "stop and go"? thing where she would put a huge board in the middle of the room and for each student, she would put a huge green face(for good behavior), orange for whatever and red "frowny" face for bad behavior. The previous years my son would come home with new knowledge daily. It was so amazing to see him talking about magnets and electricity and all of the countries in the world, animal etc....all of a sudden it was all about what face he got that day. There ware a few other problems as well. We decided that we are going to move him to another school. ..and now this. I actually spoke to a attorney and he found a few things that were in violation with this school. Like the fact that they didn't provide us with the policy when we were signing the contract. The fact that they applied sunscreen on him once without our written consent as their "precious policy" requires. On top of that, that same policy only says that kids will wear sunscreen outside. So it looks like her decision to keep my son in the corner is made out at the moment. There's nothing like that in the policy. But ultimately it is going down to the medical facts. If I could get a medical opinion that my son was going to be harmed by application of anything on his skin, we could get out of the rest of the contract, and I'm confident I can get it. He also suggested to think of emotional distress, he found enough to be confident that this is something we could win if it comes down to going to court. The principal is out of control, completely unreasonable and pure narcissist. The attorney also told me that the first principal above all for a schools is that "they can't do harm to a child". In my case I did warn of medical problems and I was ignored. My child punished, even though there is nothing he can do about it. I'll see if I can get that medical note early next week. |

Quoting: Lilac.Nights My son goes to a small private school in WA, he is in second grade. I was just informed that the school's policy is "no sunscreen/no play in the sun". My son is made to stay in a tiny corner of the playground that provides shade for every recess, just because I refuse to put sunscreen on him. I've already explained that he suffers from eczema and the last year haves and I will not put anything on him. I don't even use soap. Nothing.... First of all our kids are so low on vit D that they need some sun exposure, second we are not on the equator for god's sake, we are in the Northern WA, you can barely get enough sun if you expose your whole naked body to it. The only naked parts on my son are his face, hands and bellow the knees. This is just retarded. Don't you hate it when the school tries to be the parent? This resembles to the T how we were treated during the communism. I emailed his teacher and that's her reply: "Yes, you may send your own sunscreen. It needs to have a manufacturer's label showing the SPF. Our licensing policy prohibits us from allowing kids to play in the sun without sunscreen. If you have any further questions, please contact..." Any help is greatly appreciated! You are NUTS and making up bullshit stories to post here. who would make up a lame story like that? |
