I received a bill in the mail today here at school, for $500.

Only I didn't order anything.

I took it to admin., who said "Oh, the athletic trainer ordered that".

So tell me WTH the athletic trainer ordered that cost $250 EACH and I get $200 to buy supplies for THREE schools????

Uh, HELLO...it's athletics. So very much more important than health care. (please hear my extreme sarcasm) And that is why none of MY tape or elastic bandages go on sports injuries, they get sent right down the hall to the trainer.

I've never even met the trainer. Talked to her on the phone once (to let her know I didn't think a diabetic student should be in football practice in mid-August with his blood sugar of 500, despite what dad wanted).

She has the AED too. I didn't even know we had one since the admin. wouldn't respond to my stupid emails!!!
