"- I have also said that the school doesn't plan on making any future changes to the curriculum, now haven't I? Zip, zero, nada. She's learning the exact same things I have learned, I have helped her with her homework. She also has the same teachers that I have had. Teaching the same thing I was taught. Nothing, absolutely nothing, about pregnancy and the effects drugs have on it. Zip, zero, nada. End o' story. No extra lives or continues."
She *has* been learning the exact same things you have learned. But you don't know what she might learn in a month, in two months, in three months, in four months, in five months, etc.
Further, even if she doesn't have it in her curriculum, it is pretty much common knowledge not to smoke or drink while pregnant.
"- When we lack support, we use common sense. Mercury = Bad (don't eat fish or drink unsafe water or work near a mercury foundry). Alcohol = Bad (don't drink). Eating fish, drinking unsafe water, and working near a mercury foundary would be like drinking a beer."
Again, until you have studies that *PROVE* this, your claim is totally unsupported that mercury is just as bad as alcohol or tobacco use while pregnant. Yes, we have established that mercury is bad, but we don't know how bad, how bad for pregnant mothers, or how bad for pregnant mothers in relation to alcohol or tobacco use. All you know is the symptoms of negative effects of each, which doesn't really support your argument. Again, once you have facts, let me know. Until then, maybe you should stop making stupid unbackable statements?
