I would like your opinions on this one you guys

I was reading in the paper that some school are trying to pass that if your child/children go on a field trip with there school and he/she gets hurt or even worse killed that you can't really do nothing about it there trying to say that there not resonsible for your child if he or she goes missing or etc
i think that it is kinda foolish that they are trying to pass that because even tho they send a parental thing for you to sign they are still suppose to be the ones looking after them when they take them on the field trip am i right
and no were in the thing that you have to sign says that you can't do anything if your child gets hurt killed or etc no were so there saying if your child gets hurt oh wells shit happens

let me know how you feel about this

it's just another example of people trying to blame everyone/anyone else for their problems....teachers don't want to be responsable for the children, parents pass the responsability onto the schools b/c their too lazy to raise their kids themselves.....

everyone passes the buck. i remember when Columbine happened, they blamed it on the music....the F*CKING music! music doesnt do that kind of shit...the kids do that kind of shit. and if the parents dont know what their kids are doing, they're just as responsible as the F*CKING kids are. just a little piece of my mind to show you where i'm coming from.

No that is bullshit. If the school is taking children on a field trip they should be responsible. A parent usually is not allowed, or there are limited parents, able to go on the trips. So how are parents able to watch them? They are not lazy, but incapable to watch the children in the first place. Point is, if the school is going to have a field trip, they should either let all the parents go, or take the resposibility of watching them thereselves. Not only do the parents agree for them to go on the trip, but they also pay cash for them to go, the least the school can do is take some responsibility.

I am suprised this issue has not come around until now. Someone probably lost there kid before they actually attacked this issue. But it needed to be brought out to the public long ago. If i take someone with me somewhere, i have the responsibility, i take the blow if something happens. And so should the school. Imagine your child going off on a field trip and something happens to them, what would you feel like? Greenman would you feel like a lazy parent? most likely not, you would demand that the school be held responsible.

wow most patethic rebutle to an argument.

So let me get this straight if a kid suffers an accident at a school field trip, its the parents fault, because they are lazy, you're a moron and not allowed to speak anymore. If A school takes on the responsibilty of taking kids to a field trip, it is also their responsibility to answer for any accidents that happen during that trip, not that of the parents who are obviously not present, you can't put the balme on the parents on this issue, specially when you have people who are supposed to be watching the kids during the trip, columbine is different, it was a small group of people watching a very large crowd of kids who would of known that a couple of them where plotting to kill the others, i would find that impossible to do; on the other hand, a field trip is usually a small group of people being watched by a reasonable amount of adults, so the columbine argument is out the window. if something happened to a kid of mine at a school trip i would be pissed, because it was the school responsibility to watch my kid thats why i signed that paper, and entrusted him/her to them.

Exactly. This is taking effect in my country (phoenix is my best bro) it is retarded. My aunt refuses to sign the paper saying that they have no liability in the matter. They are also saying that each kid has to have insurance to go on a trip. That is retarded also because not everyone can afford insurance. It's discriminating, and it's downright the goverments stupidity.! i no longer think our goverment is good. .-.

ok...someone seems to have missed my point...I'm not saying the parents are at fault and I'm not saying the schools are right for not taking it upon themselves to look after the children...I'm pointing out the fact that none of them, NONE of them are willing to take the responsability where the childs safty is concerned

what grades are we talking about?

Kindergarden?

why would I let my kids go on a school field trip
if there not going to watch them?

keep them at school making pictures with macaroni.

The school systems in the U.S. suck
When the teachers aren't experienced to teach or watch the kids,
because of budget cuts....that's when your going to have problems.

Not only are you going to have slow learning students,
but also (and I'm not saying all the time, just sometimes)
they hire whoever the F*CK to watch them or look after them.

It's a shame that even some 3rd World Countries have better education systems, but then again it's a shame that we have so much freedom
(if that's what you want to call it) that most people have no family values.

We have women in the U.S. that have slept with so many guys, they don't even know who the fathers of there babies are.

Were talking all the way threw middle its not only do they not want to be libal for the children on field trips were talking at school say that the floor is wet and there is no sign is that the student's faut that he fell and hurt him self or is it the schools faut for not putting up a sign so you see basically there are trying to say no matter what if you child gets hurt you can't do nothing

i see where you're coming from greenman and i agree, when are people going to asume their responsibility, its pathetic that grown men and women, preach to their children about responsibility but when it comes down to it, they wont even accept theirs. pathetic, the US school system is pathetic, most countries have better education until highschool, and others even have better colleges, example is japan, there are no 1 class a day schedule in colleges in japan, you go to school and you learn not visit your friends. shit needs to be fixed in this country, and it all starts with our education.

as incapable as i feel our government is i think it needs to be totally restructured... i feel the federal government should take over the educational system and standardize it on some kind of level... the difference in the education from NY public schools and FL public school is ridiculous... FL is over a year behind NY schools. i know cuz i slept through my senior year in a FL school... education levels need to be raised and Americans have to stop thinking its kewl to be stupid...

Sailor moon your stupid the only responsability that the parent has is to make that there child/children get to school and after that it becomes the schools resonsability to make sure that they get the right education im not saying that parents shouldn't have apart in it which they do im just saying that once the child get on public or private bus's or grounds they become the school responsability and should be held libal if one of those children get hurt

wow phoenix... you're a moron read my statement again then rethink what you posted. :roll: learn to spell RESPONSIBILITY. it helps

sadly.....in my gradeschool i think one of our permission slips said they werent liable for injury or worse death.... thats pretty ghey :shock:

All schools here in Utah are liable for the kids during school hours (except for lunch). So basically if we left school in an assembly and got injured, the parents can sue the school for us leaving. When I was still in high school, whenever there was an assembly, the would have cops watching all exits at the school to look for kids trying to leave.

no your saying that neither the parent nor the school thakes responsibility in taking care of the student when the parent do there job buy getting the kids to school

but i do have to agree with you that us has a really crapy education setup

THEn WHATS THE PROBELM. i said the school doesnt want responsibility for the kids and some parents dont wat responsibility for their own, you make no sense.
