Ugh. Especially at 7th grade, like c'mon, talk to your child about being responsible. Or don't give them extra money. Boy I would hate it if my dad was the reason the whole school got these drinks taken away.

Seriously!

A parent responded to my email with one word. "Unsubscribe"

This made me laugh outloud in my office and scare the little ones I have in here resting.

for the record, there are a lot of people i'd like to unsubscribe to in real life.

Things I'm not here for this week: defensive, argumentative emails from teachers.

I wasn't trying to start an argument, point fingers, or assign blame. I'm just trying to do my job & keep the kids alive. Is it Friday yet?

k1p1ssk, BSN, RN · Mar 14, 2019

I'm also not here for that... as well as teachers who "just want you to know" that the child I've already assessed is "not participating" and just "flopped in a corner" during "fun things... like Spanish".

I mean...... Thank you?

Well if you ask me it is. LOL,

Nothing like happily going about my day thinking it's Friday and then BAM someone bursts my bubble by pointing out it is indeed only Thursday. Ruined my whole happy vibe.

You should start quizzing these teachers students when they come in. Give them spelling words or simple math. Then when they don't know the answers send a "just want you to know" email" ;)

So, my bad, the kid ended up with a fever 2 hours later. BUT. When the teacher came down, I told her that he was fine when I saw him, his only complaint was a headache, and that if he needed to not be in the classroom, send him down to rest in my office, and she ended the conversation with "No, I just wanted you to know."

Today, she confronted me saying that she felt she hadn't been "heard" because she knows him better than I do as she has had him in her class for over 100days and she is like another parent to him. Ok. What do you want me to do, come pick up the 80lb child and carry him to my office? If you're truly concerned, just send him with a note, or walk him down yourself!! Also, I really don't think his ACTUAL PARENTS would like her comparing herself to them.

I think what irks me the most is that since he ended up getting picked up, I'm the one who stayed an hour late after school so that he didn't have to suffer in after-school care while dad rushed to get here. AND I'm the one who arranged for alternative transportation for his friend who was supposed to go to his house after school.

GRRR. Sorry for the vent.

Sounds like a job for someone who describes themselves as his other parent.

Sounds like a dramatic teacher. I wonder if she realizes your job is to ensure the health and safety of student body...not to make teachers feel warm and fuzzy and special.

k1p1ssk, BSN, RN · Mar 15, 2019

She definitely is dramatic. I heard a horror story from the previous nurse that she (having never consulted ANYONE about it) told a parent their child had Tourette's due to a concentration tic he was exhibiting. What an effing nightmare.

WineRN · Mar 15, 2019

I have a little one who has asked every 2 minutes if his dad is here yet...we are on 20 minutes in....

C'mon and hurry up spring break. I need you
