Wait till you have a kid that needs medicine at school. It's just as ridiculous.

A friend of mine in school once passed out in the bathroom because she didn't have her asthma inhaler. We were in high school, and it was all the way across the building locked up in the nurse's office. I had to crawl under the stall door to unlock it so I could get her out of the bathroom and get her help. Seems to me by the time you're in high school and your asthma is well documented and proven to be severe enough that you're exempt from all PE requirements, you have an elevator key in case a bad attack leaves you too weak for the stairs, and you're likely to pass out if you don't get your inhaler promptly when needed, maybe you should be allowed to keep the thing in your backpack instead of locked up in an office across campus. Maybe she should have chewed a pop tart into the shape of an inhaler -- after all, if pop-tart guns are dangerous, maybe pop-tart inhalers are effective too?
