Go to the nurse.

So I've noticed a lot of students coming to me for things that are somewhat unnecessary. When asked about a situation, I'll ask "Did your tell your teacher?" student : "yes." me: "what did they say?" Student: "Go to the nurse."

What do you consider reasons to NOT come to the nurse?

Oh, I'm serious. It is an old superstition and actually pretty rare thing.

Huh... what do you know? That's interesting.

I used to have pants for girls who had accidents during their periods and somehow I became the clothing closet for all of dress code noncompliance.....

Ugh. I stopped stocking up on clothing when this happened. All the clothes end up disappearing even when I hunt the kids down. The principal still would insist I give clothes to dress code violations so once the clothes ran out, I stopped trying to find more. I don't get it... the principal says he's big on teaching the kids responsibility (middle school), but then expects me to bail kids out for dress code violations or supply bandaids for boys to cover up their earrings. smh.

Don't forget the ever popular, "I stepped in dog poop."

Flip flops are for pools not for schools!

Yup, but Coban or athletic tape will help.

Just had a student brought for me for medication, and I know my kids with medications, she's not one of them. I tell this to the teacher and the teacher asks her "Where's your medicine?"

Student: "With mommy."

Teacher: "And where's mommy?"

Student: "I don't know,I losted her today."

Me: *Trying sooo hard not to laugh with teacher*

One of my favorites is,

Student: I texted my Mom and she is here to pick me up.

Me: Sooooo what do you want me to do?

Student:I want you to excuse me!

Me: Ah NO! I didn't see you and I didn't excuse you!

That's some guts right there, and disrespect. Did you deal with Mom? My boys would be SO in deep.

THIS THIS THIS!!! I wont excuse them either. The kids come down, assess, let them rest ( no issues at all) I send them back to class, they text parents. Suddenly parents here to pick up and want me to excuse it. NO WAY. I have made more than my share of enemies these past 2 years in the middle school. AT least with the littles this didnt happen.

LOOSE TEETH!

I have one teaching assistant who will bring kids in and show me their hanging-by-a-thread tooth. What am I supposed to do? Foot on chest & yank?
