Get the note and rub their faces in it like a bad dog. (Of course, I can be a vindictive bitch.)<BR/><BR/>You know what's best for your child. They have a lot of nerve discounting that. Even without a doctor's specifics.Paigehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03346677968070387458noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30975241.post-1160587662205311482006-10-11T13:27:00.000-04:002006-10-11T13:27:00.000-04:00Yup, I agree. Call her doctor and get her excused ...Yup, I agree. Call her doctor and get her excused until she's more than 100% better! Where I live, if the parents send an email or a note to the school it HAS to be honored. That's just ridiculous. It's not like you're sitting with the doctor thinking "Ok, well, she has PE so he'll to specifically put on there that she can't do that.." etc. Nuts!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30975241.post-1160574058141443762006-10-11T09:40:00.000-04:002006-10-11T09:40:00.000-04:00You may have to go down there in person.

That is exactly what you MUST do.You see,...Indeed. That is exactly what you MUST do.<BR/><BR/>You see, the repeated statement in both messages that a P.E. excuse is born from a note from a physician listing specific restrictions tells me that they assume you cannot obtain such a note. <BR/><BR/>You can.<BR/><BR/>And I would. Today. And I'd make copies of it myself - - - send Cam in with a copy for the office, a copy for the PE teacher and a copy for her back pocket in case anyone has any MORE questions.<BR/><BR/>Idiots. If you weren't a teacher, I'd throw in a big teacher rant. But I'll be good today.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30975241.post-1160538468713319932006-10-10T23:47:00.000-04:002006-10-10T23:47:00.000-04:00I would spell it out... p n e n o u ...

I'd call and get it first thing and make it good for a couple weeks! Doctors don't always know what 'restrictions' they should write on a note. Doesn't something like...'Don't over exert' mean anything! I hated PE. We never did anything constructive. Well, swimming was fun, but that didn't last very long.<BR/><BR/>Get the note. Make him write it in BIG letters and in RED. But, then if he faxes it to the school, the red won't show up. Make it in REALLY BIG BLOCK letters, so they can read it. And tell the doctor to get Really specific. Heck, she could end up with walking pnenu...I can't spell that work.. She could end up getting sicker!Brendahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10262188591250669438noreply@blogger.com
