Children with asthma everywhere should be allowed to have an inhaler carried with them, so that in case they have a severe emergency from over doing it on the playground they can bring themselves back to there normal state of being. Its is very important that children are allowed to have there inhalers carried with them, because if they don’t have an inhaler and they have an asthma attack they wont be able to bring themselves back they would be in deep trouble and the risk of that is death and schools are willing to take that risk even when its one of there own students. This is a big topic that people should be considering and that it is just so serious. Everyone who has asthma should have an inhaler on them even if there not allowed.

In this article students who are going to this school aren't allowed to have an inhaler on them, and the government had be forcing schools to allow them to let the students be able to acquire an inhaler. The students need to have these puffers after they take there medications because it helps bring there body back to a normal state. Teachers should always have backups in case of an emergency for a student.  The article talks about how the school have a place where the children are able to use there inhalers which is outside of the principles office.

Ontario schools should allow students with asthma to carry puffers with them in case of emergencies.  Gibbons, 40, started a petition asking the government to force school boards to adopt standardized asthma management plans after her son's death.  "In some schools, students are not allowed to have them outside of the principal's office, some have medical stations where teachers have pictures of students who need inhalers but still don't have it on hand, and in other schools it has to be in the teacher's desk, which doesn't help them when they go in the playground," he said. "There really does seem to be good evidence that, as soon as the child is able to manage their own medication, it's important that they have the puffer or the EpiPen on their person," said Sandals. "Provided the doctor said it's fine for them to have the puffer they will have a spare puffer somewhere in the school, probably the principal's office, but they will have (another) puffer in their pocket or in their bag, however they feel comfortable having it, but it will be on them at all times throughout the day," said Yurek. It shows how parents and students and other authorities would rather have people with asthma carry around their inhalers. They show parents opinions and administrative opinions. The author doesn’t really state one opinion. But this article also doesn't show the reason for why students wouldn't be able to carry around inhalers, which makes it sound bias. That students should be able to carry around inhalers for safety precautions. Separates the article into 2 subheadings (Mom wants parties to introduce legislation and Education minister pledges support). Included many quotes from different perspectives. That asthma regulations are a problem in schools and need to be addressed for the safety of students. That asthma is another social issue. That  maybe teachers need to have more qualities in the medical section, including cpr training and basic authority to give treatment.  Did the petition work?

I find it ironic that the nurses office and medical stations that have a picture of students who need inhalers and don’t have one, but the students of the school have inhalers but they aren't allowed to use them which is just very disturbing to me. I say this because kids go outside and run around knowing they have asthma but they could one day over do it and have a asthma attack and without that inhaler they have a very high chance of death, and that’s all because the board of ed wont allow the school to acquire inhalers and that’s such a high risk. I just find that a very unjust that they cant be safe in case of an emergency. I just feel differently about the whole topic and how if they give the students the right to hold an inhaler
