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.

Today I had my diabetic student go pee on his ketone stick and he brings it back and is "tapping" it (wet with pee mind you) on my shoulder to get my attention. Uggh!

You win for today!!!!

Principal, with 20+ years education experience, Bachelor of Science and Master of Science degrees: "Little Johnny is fine, no fever."

Me: "How do you know?"

Principal: "I felt his forehead."

Me: ....

This happens about once per week. Either febrile or afebrile based on their magical hand sensors.

(sometimes I passive aggressively sign my emails "Talk Soon" to parents who, ahem, over communicate)

Happy Monday. My first visit of the day 0900 pass says "Neck sore, give tylenol and maybe lay on heating pad?"

ummm...No. We don't do OTCs for elementary. And for the love of Pete, his neck hurts from "looking down too long to build a Lego set" so, no he doesn't need to miss class to lay on a heating pad. He's 8, he'll recover just fine.

Kid in clinic at 0900 with pass from teacher that says "lethargic and congested."

Me: did you have your head down on the desk?

Him: Yes.

Me: Does mom know you don't feel well?

Him: Yes.

Me: How best can I help you?

Him: We don't have kleenex in class.

Here, sweet baby, let me give you some kleenex (and I did not comment that I am lethargic at 0900 on a Monday as well)...

Uh, yes please. This something the school should be aware of. Do you have orders for giving anything per tube?
