And can you imagine how much time it takes for the kids to get all that bundled up if they are putting on snow pants and boots and all that stuff?

...I hope Carly's chin feels better real soon. <br />As far as the cold, we are only 2 hours west of you (Muskegon), and holy smokes is it freezing, it was only 13 degrees when the boys went to school this morning not counting the wind chill. Yesterday (Wed) the kids didn't go outside at school recess, it was way to cold. Your school shouldn't have either! I don't know the exact degree that they HAVE to cancel outside recess, but yesterday should have been one of those days.<br />And to Miss. Anonymous, shame on you!!! There are amazing teacher's out there, yes, and then there are horrible one's that cause a fear in your gut as a parent. If you do work in the field you need to open your eyes, and the feeling I get by you being soooo defensive for teachers is that you have something to be defensive about. And deep down you know what I'm saying is true. Its people like you that make me fear the day Kaitlyn starts school, like I said, Shame on you!!!!Jeneehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04077321351913532725noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-255951012222677498.post-25540521650212588952010-01-28T10:35:08.879-05:002010-01-28T10:35:08.879-05:00Why in the world are they letting kids go outside ...Why in the world are they letting kids go outside if its that cold?<br />I also love how people like to leave nasty comments anonymously. Leave your name coward! We do want our children to be as normal as possible, and no, a scrape won't kill her. But with low platlets there is a bleeding risk!<br />And I agree, teachers lie all the time. But I do believe most love our children!Laceyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03321275110857561824noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-255951012222677498.post-85816318419858618572010-01-28T07:52:18.664-05:002010-01-28T07:52:18.664-05:00Oh, poor Carly!!

And ...Dear Anonymous...you are obviously a teacher. And not a very caring one at that. Sadly, teachers do LIE. They lie to parents all the time. Teachers also run their mouths about kids. Which in turn bites them in the butt. This teacher DOES NOT go outside with her students. She has no way of knowing just what took place. I KNOW my kid. I KNOW that she would have cried. She bumps her knee and cries crocodile tears! NO. I didn't notice her chin. If you note, Carly is bundled up during the winter. Not that I feel the need to explain this to a coward who doesn't even leave their name...but when a kid is bundled up with a scarf etc, you sure can't see what has gone on with their chin! As far as wind burn.. Maybe you should talk with your doctor. Our, now 20 year old, "typical" son, had wind burn when he was 6. From recess. Our doctor saw it (for unrelated reasons) and our doctor flipped his lid. Not only was our son's face wind burned, so were his eyes. Yep...the doctor jumped my A$$ for sending out a small child in the very same type of weather the school sent Carly out in. Funny thing with that little story..it was the SAME SCHOOL! I haven't made a big deal about this. Trust me. MANY moms with special needs kids, would have. I simply told them to look over the IEP,where the "plan" for winter recess is laid out in black and white. Oh..I also figure you were a follower. Cuz, I'm now down one follower. LOL!!!! <br /><br />I have very few anonymous comments. I find this amusing in a way. People actually take the time to jump on to a story, and twist it around without having the courage to leave their names. In that case. I agree with my fellow blogging friends. DONT check up on my family. Thank you!<br /><br />Oh...if you read my profile. It simply tells people to click on the red X if you don't like what I have to say! Please, next time leave your name or just simply click the red X!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05559379825105852488noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-255951012222677498.post-47496486461209477332010-01-28T04:39:33.557-05:002010-01-28T04:39:33.557-05:00Ouch poor dear Carly, I hope the scrape stops hurt...Ouch poor dear Carly, I hope the scrape stops hurting soon and that that's exactly what it is just a scrape...<br />I am so appalled reading the above comments from Anonymous, and just wanted let this person know that this is a place we parents come to to share with each other a very important and significant part of our lives, so please have the decency to respect the sanctity of this very special place and that the worries and concerns we show here might be one of the most significant as well as life changing for us. We share our happiness, sadness, joys and worries here because we know others will understand so if all you can contribute is in the form of an attack I would suggest you stay away from reading these blogs as you obviously cannot empathize with nor feel what might go on in a parents mind when their child is out there on her own. <br />These blogs are obviously not meant for you, I am sure you can find other blogs which will be of far greater interest, everything is not necessarily meant for everyone, and if you have nothing positive to say I suggest say nothing...and deep inside if you weren't ashamed of what you said I think you would have had the guts to leave your name.Tinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15552691097146215450noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-255951012222677498.post-2794937082256899112010-01-27T23:49:32.726-05:002010-01-27T23:49:32.726-05:00Dear Anonymous, I saw your comments earlier when I...Dear Anonymous, I saw your comments earlier when I was helping my daughter leave a note to her friend Carly. I do have a little more experience in this arena only because my daughter is now twenty. I do understand your position about wanting to do what the other children are doing, however, is there a reason that you felt it necessary to leave a comment in the attack mode? Those of us who blog here, do so as a support to one another. Moms talking to moms about the joys, frustrations and challenges of raising children with Down syndrome, many with significant medical issues. And why do we do this? because we understand each other. We have all been in the same place at one time or another. Do you know what it is like to have a child come home from school and not be able to completely articulate what happened to her? Do you have any idea the sinking feeling that leaves in your gut? I would hope that next time you lerk out there on this blog you will have the decency to think before you respond with such contempt,whoever you are.Joycehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08466914387696533499noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-255951012222677498.post-10978214430885076422010-01-27T23:36:58.337-05:002010-01-27T23:36:58.337-05:00Uff!

Then she told me that she had fallen in the gym! Wha...?!?! I phoned the teacher & she tells me "oh, the sub forgot to tell you". Lets just say that I kept a much closer eye on her after that! <br /><br />And as for the high & mighty "anonymous" commenter... why don't you stand on that soapbox with your name showing?! I agree with Heather. Seems quite cowardly to me to criticise someone else & not even have the guts to "show your face (or name in this case)!" <br /><br />Hope Miss Carly's chin is better soon!Tina:0)https://www.blogger.com/profile/10260215878769244185noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-255951012222677498.post-70042520213000780012010-01-27T21:36:27.713-05:002010-01-27T21:36:27.713-05:00oh Carly that looks like it hurts.

From the sounds of it, she wanted to be just like everyone else and didn't even want to acknowledge that it happened (making her different). Believe it or not, teachers DON'T lie to parents....and for windburn, there are products out there similar to chapstick for the face that parents buy and use on their children when it's cold....buy some and think twice before blaming things where the blame doesn't lie. I'm appalled that you posted this! Shame on you!
