Reply to "Batting helmets"

This one has really been bothering me. 

Assuming the helmets are not in suitable condition, the school is in danger of a kid being hurt due to their negligence, and they would be on the short end of a lawsuit. In fact, this incident alone could spiral into that. While getting one's own kid a helmet may solve the problem for that particular player, it does nothing to solve the overall problem.

I can't say what an individual parent's role should be when it comes to the greater issue. I don't know the ins and outs of the dynamics in that program. There has to be a way to bring this up to someone who can create a solution--because the next kid might not be so lucky to be able to have his own helmet and the consequences may be more severe than missing a few days of practice.
