School in Texas has dumb policy
By Altimaomega 2016-01-25 19:34:57
I'm far from an optimist. More like a realist with a crack in my glass that was half full.
Free thinking became all but illegal during the Viet-Nam war.
Which gave rise to the hippy "free-thinkers" Who now blindly follow anything the liberal democrats want.
The ones that have any brain cells left after the 60-70-80s are now calling themselves Conservative Republicans.
Paged!

Alti I was there. Hippies hardly thought at all. Beatniks were free thinkers.
But enough of this derail.
Back to hero kid, stupid school.
Do charter schools in TX have to hire certified teachers? And who certifies them?

Are you really that interested? Look up the Texas Education Agency site. There's a few different types of accredited charter schools. If you really wanted to know, you could find out what type Killeen's was then go from there.
This seemed like the perennial "Let's rag on Texas!" thread.

locked up the inhaler to start with It was pure speculation, we don't even know if there was one.
That is true but seeing how the girl said she was having an asthma attack. She probably did have asthma. Being a person with asthma I was required in both Florida and New Jersey to leave a spare inhaler each year at the nurses office for this very reason. So if I ever had an attack and didn't have my own on me that day at school.
If the school knew she has asthma and didn't require this its pretty stupid. Its the same as any kid with a severe allergy that isn't required to have an epipen at school. I'm familiar with the process, and it is probable that was the case, but it's rather moot.

This seemed like the perennial "Let's rag on Texas!" thread. You make it sound like there is something wrong with ragging on Texas.
But I also point out when they do something good.

Yeah, but if any of us had to fish for how many threads you have made to specifically bad mouth the ratio would be pretty high. So, this one positive thread out of how many negative threads? This is why some of us don't think you are sincere in your interest or concern.
Did you find the answer to the question you posed? If you actually wanted a discussion you wouldn't have followed with this trivial ***-for-tat.

Dumb or insincere, fluff question. Not sure if some of us should be insulted by the question itself, or more insulted that you didn't look it up with the material plopped in your lap.

Be at ease Texas, you still aren't Florida. Or Illinois, Or Louisiana. or...*gasp* Mississippi. You're the Democratic equivalent of conservatives ragging on California. Or simply the Republican holy state if the rumors are to be believed.
New York just gets threatened with being blown up every week or dealing with a refugee crisis of hipsters and overseas rich kids who ***up the place. Need some corrupt state officials? We export those.

I laughed. Thanks. We have Paxton right now, among a string of others. So, cheers, I guess?

To keep the thread on topic. I hope the parents of the girl push to get that teacher fired.
As for the teacher's testimony, I highly doubt the kid actually dropped the F-Bomb even with the situation, and that the teacher was trying to act like they were justified.
The teacher might sound like an idiot but it's probably school policy the prevented her from taking direct action.
I can see minor injuries getting the hands-off approach, like a blodied knee (schools want to avoid liability), but anything serious, like being UNABLE TO BREATHE, a minor seizure (there are minor ones), etc should have special policy.
Adults should be smart enough to know when to violate weak policies too.
And yeah, the kid probably said "F**k". Kid's swear, and that would have been a frustrating situation.

So, the school's emergency plan for a situation like this is... write an email? No phone call, no intercom link, but an email? A setup like this belongs in a sitcom or something.

I don't, the person I quoted just said they doubted the kid even said the f-bomb.
But yeah, big deal.
Texas eighth-grader suspended for rescuing classmate during asthma attack
Washington Post. Which is liberal so King will rail against it. And it is a charter school.
Quote: Anthony Ruelas watched for what seemed like an eternity as his classmate wheezed and gagged in a desperate struggle to breathe.
The girl told classmates that she was having an asthma attack, but her teacher refused to let anyone leave the classroom, according to NBC affiliate KCEN. Instead, the teacher emailed the school nurse and waited for a reply, telling students to stay calm and remain in their seats.
When the student having the asthma attack fell out of her chair several minutes later, Ruelas decided he couldn’t take it anymore and took action.
“We ain’t got time to wait for no email from the nurse,” a teacher’s report quotes him as saying, according to Fox News Latino.
And with that, the 15-year-old Gateway Middle School student carried his stricken classmate to the nurse’s office, violating his teacher’s orders.
The teenager later texted Ruelas to let him know she was fine, according to KWTX, but that didn’t stop school officials at the alternative school in the Killeen Independent School District from punishing him. Ruelas was written up by his teacher and eventually suspended for two days, according to KCEN.
“I was like what?” Ruelas told the station. “I’m suspended for this? Like, I was trying to help her.”
A teacher’s report documenting the incident appears to correspond with Ruelas’s version of what transpired:
“During 5th period another student complained that she couldn’t breathe and was having an asthma attack,” the report states. “As I waited for a response from the nurse, the student fell out of her chair to the floor. Anthony proceeded to go over and pick her up, saying ‘f—k that, we ain’t got time to wait for no email from the nurse.’ He walks out of class and carries the other student to the nurse.”
Mandy Cortes, Ruelas’s mother, told KCEN that she assumed her son — who has been suspended in the past — was to blame when the school informed her that he had been suspended again.
“I wasn’t trying to hear it,” she said. “I was like, ‘No, they already told me what happened — you walked out of class.’ And he was like ‘Okay, forget it.’ But I can tell — you know, you know your kids — I could tell he was upset.”
Cortes told KCEN that when she found out what prompted her son to walk out of class, she was proud of him but frustrated by the school’s response.
