Critiquing child advocacy plans
Introduction
When a child is born certain rights protect him or her. However, the child is unable to speak or represent what they need for survival.

The guidelines that they have established, as well provided to the parents mainly just covers fevers and medication. It notes that students must be twenty-four hours fever free before returning to school.

In order for this policy to be clearly stated, the Public School needs to be more specific like the Education Center.
