Fight the System
Okay like I said before, "I am just trying 2 survive" so here's one more blow. My oldest DD is allergic to milk. She has attended the same school since kindergarten. In the middle of the year last year they made me get a doctor's note stating that she needed to have juice substituted for milk. Today they told me they need a new note. I asked why and they said federal regulations. So I asked where, the lady didn't know. Well after a little more searching I found it. Except, it says that the doctors note does NOT need to be reissued unless there has been a change. Well I just spent a few more minutes searching the federal website and the school is going to wish they never opened this can of worms. According to the feds I can write the note and they need to substitute milk for an equal item. That means nutritionally it has to be the same. My poor DD has been receiving 4 oz of juice which doesn't even come close to the 8oz milk dairy requirements. Well I can't wait until tomorrow. Let the fireworks begin. And remember, don't let someone tell you how things work, find out for yourself.
