Same here! I had a parent who decided their child didn't need to wear inside shoes (crocs, that we provide) on our laminate floor because he didn't want to. Sure enough, that same morning he decided to show off to everyone else wearing crocs that he could twirl around really fast in his socks- he slipped, fell, landed straight on his face on his glasses and cut his eyebrow so deep he needed stitches!
Another parent a few years later decided her child was find in flip flops to go hiking in. Child gets a stick stuck in the side of his foot enough that it bleeds. She STILL doesn't want to send him in closed shoes, saying accidents happen. Great family otherwise so I just bought some tennis shoes for him to keep here...
