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.

Still trying to wrangle some vaccinations over here, and I emailed one student's parents about it. I guess they recently separated, and now I'm stuck in an email chain of them arguing who should pay the cable bill. C'mon people.

Only if asked by admin, and only if there is a case reported in that grade.

A single case in the grade. Good grief. I don't even do whole class checks. I would consider it if there were maybe three kiddos in the class with lice. But one case the the whole grade. I ain't doin' it.

Had a sweet little kinder come up this morning because she blew her nose and saw blood.

In the mucus.

In the tissue.

Definitely NOT a nosebleed.

A college educated woman sent me a kid over a bloody booger. :banghead:

2nd grader: "My teacher said you need to fix this" hands me his shoe lace

Me: How did your shoe lace end up here instead of laced up on your shoe?

2nd: "I dunno, it randomly fell out"

Me: Did the aglets also randomly fall off? The plastic pieces on the ends...did you cut them off?

2nd: "Nope, they must have fell off"

C'mon Now! 1.) You're obviously lying kid. 2.) How on Earth is this a nursing problem?!

1. Don't tell me you don't want a ride to your dad's car in the wheelchair when you spent 30 minutes crying that you cannot bear any weight on your non swollen, non -tender ankle!! C'MON NOW....

2. The cameras say that you did in fact instigate the incident where you got pushed by another student despite the fact that you and your dad insisted you would never do that. the other kid didn't even push you, he just held out his arms to try to protect his head form your slaps!!! C'MON NOW - big brother is watching you!

3. Don't you hate it when you feel you are reliving the same day over and over??? Same kids coming in at same time as they did yesterday and same parents have still done the same nothing at home. Am I in a lifetime / hallmark movie??? What lesson will I learn by the end? C'MON Now!

I have noticed that the last two years we have had an influx of under 40 parents, we only had old parents because of the economy for the previous 6 or seven years. They really are different in their worldviews, some for the better, most for the worst. I never had to handhold older parents like I do with them, and fathers seem to be the ones who get things done, opposed to mom's for my generation.
