annoyed at school nurse

[rosie5637]

i got a letter from the school a few months back about health checks, ears eyes, weight and height. it was for the goverment data base so i opted out. my little protest at the snoopy nanny state aka labour government!

i then recieved a letter from the school nurse asking permission for the same tests to be carried out. it wasn't very clear if this was another government thing or wether it was just a school record thingy. there was no opt out section to sign so i just left it with the intention of getting my son checked myself. i since recieved 2 more letters pestering me.

i filled out the form yesterday as this does seem to be a school thing but i wrote on the bottom of the form in big letters that i do not want my son to be weighed at school. i feel quite strongly about this. i don't think any child should be worrying about their weight or need to be weighed. my son is a very lean young man so i have no worries.

he came out of school today with the results of the tests, including his weight why is it so difficult to read the form before testing the kids and to adhere to a parents wishes? makes me mad. i shall be complaining tomorrow.

That's terrible!!! Anything like that should definitely have an opt-out option! Let us know how talking to the school goes x
