Unbiased yes or no poll

I am a middle school math teacher. I have nocturnal epilepsy. Knock on wood but all of my seizures happen when I am a sleep.

If your child had a teacher who had seizures in front of students …… would you ask that the teacher be fired? Yes or No?

No. Even if the teacher had seizures during class, I wouldn't ask that she be fired...

The kids could be educated on the seizures and how to respond....

No I would not ask for the teacher to be fired, as the other posts have said, the kids could be educated on what happens and what to in case one occurs right from day 1.
