We recently had a conversation where my husband talked about having to do earthquake drills in his CA schools, in Florida, we had tornado drills and bomb threat practice (with the fire drills), our kids have had 'intruder' drills (lock doors, hide, etc). School is for many lessons :pConniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03667481504650498976noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3248196462677139259.post-56097684117710466612010-10-02T07:05:21.984-06:002010-10-02T07:05:21.984-06:00I just had to go through my first TB screening for...I just had to go through my first TB screening for preschool this year.

I'm thankful for it. And they also have a designated teacher outside in front of school watching all of the kids before school. A big fench around the school. The doors are always locked and you have to be buzzed in. I love that. And I live in one of the safest cities in the country. I still love it. <br /><br /><br />Way to get your hall pass! :)Kathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14339665205284492242noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3248196462677139259.post-33591161538615101472010-10-01T06:15:41.667-06:002010-10-01T06:15:41.667-06:00Congrats!

Now they ask for a background check, but that's it, no immunizations, no TB test.<br /><br />Have fun. Pace yourself. Remember to keep time for you.Mom24https://www.blogger.com/profile/00061152728345287775noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3248196462677139259.post-50368983960592875342010-10-01T00:02:19.609-06:002010-10-01T00:02:19.609-06:00I am glad your clearance to volunteer came through...I am glad your clearance to volunteer came through. I am sure the girls will enjoy having you around the school. I know I have really enjoyed volunteering at schools in the past. <br /><br />This makes me think of Naoma's post a day or two ago where she talked about the teacher settling a child down by simply touching their cheek and quietly reminding them it was time to listen. So respectful and calming, but totally a lawsuit waiting to happen here in the states. <br /><br />It also makes me think of a report that I have seen several times recently where there is a total disconnect between the thing parents fear the most and the real dangers to children. It sounds as even the school has lost track of the real dangers-kids and cars- and are focused on the horrible but really fairly remote possibility of a pedophile parent volunteer.Shannonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12110115324050851439noreply@blogger.com
