I have to side with the school on this one. A child who cannot speak for herself having a DNR order? I wouldn’t honor it.

Parents make decisions for their children, not schools.

Parents make decisions for their children, not schools.

Parents make decisions for their children and who will care for them. They have a right not to put their children in the care of those who cannot or will not adhere to the parents wishes for their child's care. However, they do not make decisions for those in who's care they leave them. They can only make their wishes known, and the providers of that care should be honest enough to indicate whether or not they are able to follow those wishes.
