[QUOTE="Marguerite, post: 212118, member: 1991"] I feel sorry for the sub in this as well. She goes in there with no info,l no back-up, with a child whose plan hasn't been followed, gets bitten, does what she has to do (which is file a complaint) and about now, is finding out just how wrong she got things, BECAUSE SHE WASN'T TOLD!! Frankly, asking to do blood work on your child is a stupid first line of enquiry. The more sensible option is to talk to you, ask you if there is anything likely that could be nasty. Some kids of difficult child's age CAN have Hep C, B or A or HIV but really, it's unlikely. This would be the time to share this info with whoever is treating the sub. It's a commonsense way of handling it, but unfortunately, it sounds like litigation is on the school's mind (and sub's) and as a result it all becomes too adversarial. Of course you have to get legal advice. Your poor kid - she is also very much a victim in this. If her condition was not known to the sub then no wonder this all happened. I get so angry with schools - first for not following through, then for not informing staff. Confidentiality be blowed - a teacher needs to know what a teacher needs to know. Substitute or otherwise, they need to know. To not share such information - THAT is grounds for litigation, in my book. You and the sub should both be fighting the school on this one, on the same side. And I'm not down on all schools - it CAN be done. There ARE good schools and great teachers out there. If there were more of them, this site wouldn't be so busy. Marg [/QUOTE]
