I think the idea of straps instead of laces is good which I will do . However I do believe that it would be nice if the teacher would have taken the time to tie his sneakers to prevent him from falling . So I was just wondering if they had a responsibility to do so . Also if the child can tie at least inform the child if they see it .
My child attends a nyc school he is currently being evaluated because he has some small delays however he is 6 and in first grade n being a little slower he cannot yet tie his laces so everyday that I pick him up his laces are hanging all over the place n I felt bad like I wish I could stay everyday with him to tie his sneakers but I said to myself y cant the teacher tie his sneaker he’s going to fall one day .so I informed the principal that I had this safety concern n she said that’s a job for u , so I said ok so if he cannot tie they just leave the children like that walking around with untied laces ? And her reply was oh teach him over the week .I mean its a 3 second job to prevent him from getting hurt iv tried to teach him and im still teaching him unfortunatly he cannot get it yet but im just in disbelief that she would respond with a kind of oh well if he falls he falls . Its unbelievable sad I think.
