Had a kid bring his wet, bloody tooth and plop it right on my desk.

C'mon now!

Or the kid that did running knee slide into my office.

C'mon now!

The ones old enough to cover their mouths but choose to cough right in your face instead.

All together: C'mon now!!

Some things just make me shake my head.

It's my first day back... Kids start on August 15. Countdown to summer starts now...

Just received an inhaler with an expiration date of Dec. 2013! The kid was born in 2012...

I got my list of Asthma and food allergies. I called one of the parents for the severe allergy to nuts, so I asked mother, does she need an Epi-Pen? "Oh she's not allergic, we just don't eat peanut butter."

I just had a student who didn't want to be in class. He kept trying to find any excuse that why he shouldn't be in class. He's in 2nd grade btw. Background: Child tells me there's a bully in class with the blue backpack and that he punched him in the stomach yesterday. Which is weird because ANY injury is sent straight to me, so I'm pretty sure this did not happen. His story keeps changing, here's some highlights:

- Kid punched me at school

- Same kid punched me at home

-I need medicine to take home

- Brother punched me at home

- Little brother punched me at home

- Little brother is 18 yrs old

- I don't know any English (telling me in English)

- Stomach hurts

- Brain doesn't want to work

- Hands doesn't want to work

I spoke with mom, basically he's nervous. New school, new friends.

All I could do is just watch him change his story and send him back to class.

Our site manager just showed me an email from a parent demanding we turn our air conditioning off. She claims that the "extreme temperature differences" between inside the school (72-76F) and outside the school (90F) is making her precious snowflake sick.

That's not how science works.

Bring a sweater.

We are the opposite.

One small area of our school lost A/C in the last hour of the day yesterday. The rooms did start to get a little stuffy but stayed below 80 degrees until dismissal.

Our entire admin team, attendance clerk and I have all received at least 2 angry calls about it from parents of students in those 4 rooms affected.

C'mon now.

Wouldn't want those precious snowflakes to melt.

He came back again today. Wet himself completely. He states the teacher didn't let him go to the restroom. Guess what? They were in line to to go the restroom. He said he peed in the hallway, he didn't pee in the hallway, but in the restroom. I have no clue what's going on with this kid, but the teacher is going nuts because the parents are believing this kid about the bully and when in reality, the bully wasn't here at all the first day, when he states he got bullied.

Conversation this morning:

Kid: (to another kid) What are you in for?

Me: Johnny, we don't ask people that.

Kid: Oh yeah, sorry. This isn't jail after all.

Made me laugh considering in the first hour of school I sent 6 kids home and had a PUDDLE of poo on my bathroom floor. Mask came out early today, y'all.

I posted last Fall about a parent FINALLY bringing in an Epi pen after several months of me asking on a daily basis. It had expired in 2015. Kid just brought back the SAME Epi Pen this year:roflmao:
