[/quote] ^^^ This!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! The school is not going to bend, especially if they are claiming their license requires it. Maybe a doctor's prescription of sunlight for his eczema would work, otherwise transfer. [/quote] But that is my problem, how can a school require application of ANY substance? [/quote] It's simple. Do your want your son to get sunlight, or do you want a long drawn out court case during which time your son gets no sunlight? You could win your case (unlikely since it is a private school) and your son's eczema could get worse. Which is more important to you? Proving your point? In life we all lose sometimes, It happens sometimes. The school screwed you and your son. That's life. Maybe you can get the tuition back, but that's doubtful. Move on. Do what's best for your son. [/quote] I can't win...and I know that. I'm just shocked that this is allowed and mainly shocked by the robotic response to the parents. [/quote] I don't agree. Your tuition money is precious to them. you remove that money due to a sunscreen policy - and let them know that - I can assure you there will be internal discussion, mostly angry discussion, about how to handle this differently "going forward". you are going to win this because parents have unequalled power in the ed system. NOT parents as a group - they are disregarded entirely - but the loud squeaky wheel that gives a teacher a bad name with the administration. Does this private school have a board or group of directors, the ones that make hiring and firing decisions about the principal/head of school, and other faculty? those are the people you need to talk to. I have experience with private schools as well as public ones. [b]ANY RULE can be broken or bent. ANY.[/b] [/quote]

I'm honestly sooo pissed!
My son goes to a small private school in WA, he is in second grade.
I was just informed that the school's policy is "no sunscreen/no play in the sun".
My son is made to stay in a tiny corner of the playground that provides shade for every recess, just because I refuse to put sunscreen on him.
I've already explained that he suffers from eczema and the last year haves and I will not put anything on him. I don't even use soap. Nothing....
First of all our kids are so low on vit D that they need some sun exposure, second we are not on the equator for god's sake, we are in the Northern WA, you can barely get enough sun if you expose your whole naked body to it. The only naked parts on my son are his face, hands and bellow the knees.
This is just retarded.
Don't you hate it when the school tries to be the parent?
This resembles to the T how we were treated during the communism.
I emailed his teacher and that's her reply:
"Yes, you may send your own sunscreen. It needs to have a manufacturer's label showing the SPF. Our
licensing policy
prohibits us from allowing kids to play in the sun without sunscreen. If you have any further questions, please contact..."
Any help is greatly appreciated!
