What kind of errands....

Do you run on a daily basis? Weekly basis? Monthly basis?

I've often heard people say that they need a lot of time during the week to run errands and that those errands would otherwise take up their evenings and weekends if they had to WOH ft. It made me curious because I just don't seem to have many errands to run at all. Are we just lazy :-)?

Well, I can only go by what you say, and you said you knew all throughout your practices that you'd be on the bench. Yes, yes, even the pitcher sits on the bench sometimes. Bet the pitcher didn't ever say that made her a benchwarmer.

"I would have to check my photo album to even tell you where we finished and if we ever won All Ivy. Winning was not important. Nor was it my goal." It's a pretty safe bet it was the goal of the people who did actually play.

I'm not sidestepping anything. I already answered you.

What gives you that idea? Not even in a pediatric hospital is a sick child required to have an adult perpetually stationed in his or her room.

It has the makings of a philosophical debate: "If a child pukes behind a curtain, can anyone hear it?"

All possible, I suppose. But IRL, not so much. How many nurse's office have you been to? I've been to dozens of them.

Apples & oranges, dogma. A hospitalized child is under a doctor's care and has been okayed to be unsupervised for a certain length of time. A school nurse isn't a doctor. Many hospitalized children actually are under observation throughout their stay, if they need to be.

Hm. Our school nurse does not appear to operate under the principle that a puking child needs admission to the ICU until a physician tells her otherwise.

If you don't care about winning or losing, do you get up to bat and try to strike out? If you get a hit (presumably by accident)do you proceed to walk as slowly as possible around the bases, or maybe just sit down? Or pick up the ball if its convenient and tag yourself out to save everyones energy and time?

Lucky for you that you don't have much experience in this area. While under the nurse's care, a sick child is her responsibility. Since she's not a doctor, she can't always know what's wrong with the child or what might happen next. So, she needs to watch him/her until a responsible adult arrives. Granted, most of the time it doesn't make much difference. But in a large school with a significant number of medically fragile kids, there's usually a protocol. Kind of like universal precautions in case of bodily fluids. Because you never know.

"While under the nurse's care, a sick child is her responsibility." Of course. "But in a large school with a significant number of medically fragile kids, there's usually a protocol." Yes, part of the protocol at our school includes looking up the child's health info and finding out if he's a medically fragile kid. It does not include staring at said child no matter what symptom brought him in until such time as a responsible adult picks him up. In fact, sometimes, she's able to give said child the onceover and send him back to class. Even without an escort.

If the floor is linoleum, I know the answer.
