Does Jimmy Hopkins from Bully count as LGBT?

The bolded are very different things.

If you're taking the kids off campus or keeping them after then yes. Taking them over to the school library during class, not so much.

My man I'm not sure when you last were in a school but nowadays ANY time students are not where they usually are, before, during, or after school we try to have it documented because parents can and have gone crazy on teachers about their child not being exactly where they are technically assigned. Even if it's just down the hall.

Though this is a stupid argument because whatever individual filled out this sheet is either an idiot, racist, or just trying to stir up controversy.

So do you have to or do you prefer to?

Because you have now said both.

Ah one of these guys huh? Lol I got an email saying we are required to do this at the beginning of the year. In my subject we have a lot of field trips and I hand them out every time. So far i have not had the principal/ap/superintendent/police knock down my door and demand to see every sheet or I'm fired. I just turn in the sheets after the field trip/activity and never hear about it again. Idk if it's actually required or not, but I'd rather not find out.

Also I prefer it because now all of my field trip forms are the exact same format, and theoretically should be the same for all of their classes. Making it easier for busy parents or parents who don't speak English to sign it.

Does that explain why I am required to do it and prefer to do it?

And as someone who was born there I remember no need for permission to do things that were on school grounds during school hours.

But I guess that's just how divisive certain groups existing has become for that state.

Brand new this year. Idk if other teachers actually send out the form but I prefer to

Lol as a current teacher in florida we have to use these sheets for literally ANYTHING extra we do in school. Even if I just need to tutor a kid for 30 minutes in the library one time after school I am required to fill this out and have it signed by their parents. Same with any other field trip or activity we do (on valentines day some classes went outside during the day for activities, they needed this pass too).

Not trying to defend this but idk... it just seems like a hastily written field trip form that the teacher feels like they shouldn't have to do but, but they do it anyways.
