School? If My Kid Gets Infected I Am Suing Everyone Under The Sun Starting With The School Board

[DanieRains]

The district, principal etc.

At home my kids are safe.

They shouldn't be in school unless they are just as safe there.

Period.

1. Option B: don't send your child to school if you are able. n/t

7. What good is a lawsuit when you have lost a child?

I agree with the poster above. There’s no way I would send a child of mine to school in the middle of a pandemic.

9. Agree. Vowing to sue others for harm to one's child would not

seem to be a responsible alternative to preventing that harm in the first place.

Danie, since you are clearly worried and feel strongly about exposing your child at school, perhaps you should be planning to stand strong on some alternative you believe will keep your child safe. Your district may be offering an on-line home alternative, as one of our kids' districts is, and it likely also already had a home schooling program you could sign up for.

16. I Don't Have Kids Just Making A Point

Thanks Hortensis anyway.

17. Oh. Well, understandable. Both my kids are making

these decisions for their kids right now. They're concerned for the teachers and staffs also, and both families volunteer at the schools as well, moms in the classrooms, one dad as a coach; but their decisions have to be about what they feel is best for their children. And other family. On top of the heavy decisions, if things get worse both districts might just shut down period.

2. And sue the GOP thugs and rump who allowed this epidemic to get out of control so badly too, by...

ignoring common sense guidelines and measures put in place to protect all Americans.

3. That is why McConnel wants the liability clause in the new bill. Just exactly so you cannot

sue if your child gets ill or dies from going back to school. The GOP says the new stimulus bill will not pass without the liability for all hospital workers, business and schools. They want to force everyone back to work and school without any liability for doing so.

12. This is an important point!

Read this post above. ^^^^^^

4. If my school had in person classes I would be sitting this semester out.

And I would be letting the administrators know exactly why. I would rather lose the semester than lose my life to COVID. It ain't worth it right now.

5. Yes

Bankrupt public schools. Good idea!

6. K&R, Home school

8. You have the option to Home School

Does your State have an on line learning option?

If you feel so strong about it, then don’t send your kids back. It’s your responsibility to choose what your kids education will look like.

10. Moscow Mitch is making it so you can't. Period.

11. Add Gov Murphy to the top of that list if you live in NJ- return to in person learning mandate

Shockingly, he is mandating in person learning starting on September 1. Following the T.rump train and putting teachers, kids, and our families at risk. Every duchess and death is on him. I am a teacher and have not even been asked if I plan on returning because we have no choice. 92% of my special ed students are returning without any way of controlling their body fluids, coughs,etc. He has not required masks of students, only staff. I am terrified and disgusted by his decision- it will cost lives

13. If I was so concerned that my children

Are going to catch a fatal disease at school, I would be figuring out how to home school rather than making a list of who I will sue

14. A Missouri public school district sent this "liability waiver" for parents

15. They will make you sign waivers, but your child could sue at age 18 . . . nt
