sick (pardon the pun) of teachers

[mycsm]

1) I don't get gum out of hair

2) I don't clean the childs shirt if they spilled something on it

3) I wont sew up your pants or a students pants

4) I wont recheck a student who YOU THINK is sick.

5) I will not notify the entire school for one student having lice..and no I will not check yours if you ask.

6) I only stock advil and Tylenol. STOP asking me for Midol, Aleve, Tums, robitussin etc

7)If your sick, YOU tell the principal YOU are going home using a sick day, Do NOT tell the principal that I am sending you home. Last I look you are a stinkin' grown up

8) I need my lunch hour to regroup and take a breath, DO NOT send the student down for a sneeze, a cough, a stomach ache, a hair tie, a new shoelace etc.

9)I will not allow a student to hang in my office because you simply cannot handle his outburst...call his caseworker

10) please stop telling me how great your kids school nurse is because she never calls you especially when you told me you sent them in with a high fever today....

whew, just the tip of iceberg, but thanks for listening.

just throwing it out there with my firefighter hat on... if as in incident commander, I knew that there was a student that needed a warmer place due to a medical condition (a true one like cold urticaria, not a fear of catching a cold from the cold...) that student could always try to find shelter in the back on an ambulance or fire truck (they have to keep the trucks running on scene and in the winter they'd put the heat on and keep it toasty warm) . this may be an acorn worth burying in the back of your mind filed in the "just incase" folder and mentioned to administration. You could even take it a step further and talk to the fire department if your are of the age level where there is fire prevention or just send an email to the chief.

I am with you on the poopy shoe! A second grader came to my office with his shoe in a plastic bag. His teacher sent him to have me clean it off. WHAT?!! You have to be kidding me!!

That is what I expect would happen, it's the few minutes before they arrive I worry about. He's never needed epi for it, but the hives broke out in minutes. Also, he is uncooperative. It just developed last year and he was upset that he couldn't do winter sports and now has to ride a different bus to school that will pick him up at his house and come straight to school so the door is not opening and closing every few minutes.

Student came down with note that teacher had "called mom about student's symptoms and the plan is............................'

Ok, what do you need me for then??? It is taking every fiber of self control to e-mail her and say "since you know how to run my clinic, why don't you come down and cover for me so I can eat lunch - since you have that period off and all."

I bring the note and the teacher into a meeting immediately with the principal..That is unacceptable....

How about you send a note and a Kumon tutoring brochure to her and say, I spoke to mom, the kid is not learning in your class I gave her the tutoring pamphlet and here is the plan...
