Mr. Smith teaches a 5th grade class and one of his students has epilepsy. Mr. Smith knows this student takes anticonvulsant medications and has never seen them have a seizure. When he's out sick one day, he tells his sub about this student but informs them that "there's no need to worry! They take medications for the seizures so they won't have them at school." The sub was reassured that if there was any issues a teacher next door could probably help but there was no need to worry, that student is completely normal and needs no extra supervision. What did Mr. Smith do wrong in this situation?
Mr. Smith should be aware that even with medication, the seizures are not always eliminated. He should be aware of the procedures for monitoring/watching/helping a child with seizures, and be informed enough to pass that information on to someone in charge of his class when he is gone.
