strumpett Posted January 5, 2007 Posted January 5, 2007 I just had a child and am not sure about vaccinations. Anyone know the law in Washington State about public schools. Will I be able to send my child there without vaccinating? Do I have to sign a form releasing me for religious reasons? I know this is a touchy subject. Not trying to spew my personal opinions, just trying to find out if any other parents have tread on this touchy doorstep? Thanks. Quote

strumpett Posted January 5, 2007 Author Posted January 5, 2007 May I ask where you got that info from? Your source? Thanks. Quote
counterfeitfake Posted January 5, 2007 Posted January 5, 2007 It says WAC, looks like it came from... the laws. Quote
foraker Posted January 5, 2007 Posted January 5, 2007 WA Dept of Public Health http://www.doh.wa.gov/cfh/immunize/documents/vacreqchildcare06.pdf Check your school districts pages as well. They should have friendlier documents Quote
strumpett Posted January 5, 2007 Author Posted January 5, 2007 Thanks for all the help. Has any parents run into a problem with this topic before. Love to hear the stories! Once again, thanks. Quote
G-spotter Posted January 5, 2007 Posted January 5, 2007 1) Were you vaccinated as a child? 2) Did it fuck you up? I guess it did. You probably don't wash your hands after you shit either. Quote
kevbone Posted January 5, 2007 Posted January 5, 2007 Hey Dru-spotter. How the hell can anyone "remember" where they were vaccinated when they were 2 months old? Do you? Quote
strumpett Posted January 5, 2007 Author Posted January 5, 2007 Did it fuck you up? Not trying to get into "why" I am choosing not to vaccinate at this current time. Just trying to find out how difficult my path will be to get my children educated in a public forum. Quote
G-spotter Posted January 5, 2007 Posted January 5, 2007 If you don't want to get them vaccinated maybe you'd be better off homeschooling them too. They might learn something at a public school and then they might end up smarter than you. Quote

They might learn something at a public school and then they might end up smarter than you. My first choice would be to home school; unfortunately this is not an option. Paying for a private school is not an option as well. Sure does not leave us with a lot to choose from. G-spotter, you have children? Quote
Dechristo Posted January 5, 2007 Posted January 5, 2007 or if she homeschooled 'em, she might end up smarter Quote
G-spotter Posted January 5, 2007 Posted January 5, 2007 G-spotter, you have children? I am the Star Child Quote
minx Posted January 5, 2007 Posted January 5, 2007 strumpett-- i am not going to open the "why" or "why not" vaccinate can of worms. as a parent and someone working in research related to vaccines, I can not endorse your failure to vaccinate. Quote
ericb Posted January 5, 2007 Posted January 5, 2007 G-spotter, you have children? I am the Star Child Having a child would require Dru copulating with someone other than Kevbone so I think the world is safe for now Quote

However if it's for religious reasons they'd be happy to open that can, chew them up, and crap them out all over you. Quote
G-spotter Posted January 5, 2007 Posted January 5, 2007 kevbone, you said you wouldn't kiss and tell Quote
ericb Posted January 5, 2007 Posted January 5, 2007 kevbone, you said you wouldn't kiss and tell He didn't...his wife found out, why do you think he has so much time to spend on this site. Quote
tvashtarkatena Posted January 5, 2007 Posted January 5, 2007 kevbone, you said you wouldn't kiss and tell All we can ask at this point is that you keep it off Youtube. Quote

Couloir Posted January 5, 2007 Posted January 5, 2007 We had a friend that didn't want to vacinate her 3 kids. She also breast fed them until they were 5. Quote
tvashtarkatena Posted January 5, 2007 Posted January 5, 2007 (edited) I knew a woman like that, too. Mom and child called it "mommy snacks". Disturbing. Edited January 5, 2007 by tvashtarkatena Quote
Couloir Posted January 5, 2007 Posted January 5, 2007 It's strange to watch the kid wiggle his tongue right before he latches on. Quote
