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.

Someone decided to put new manure in the plant area...next to our school's HVAC system. The whole school smells like farts. Happy Friday!

When a teacher tries to throw you under the bus that you didn't discuss a health issue for a student, but you have written proof.

Today is a special testing day, so all the kids basically have a free period for the last 30 minutes of school. It is now 2:50PM, 10 minutes before last bell. A teacher who is also a parent of a student comes up to me as I'm chasing a kid down the hall for his daily med and says "Oh, I just sent LD up to see you!"

me: ...

teacher/parent: She's not feeling well.

Me: How so?

teacher/parent: Oh, just generally not great.

Me: Ok. well I have to go give this med. Will you be able to take her home right when school is over (in 8 minutes, at this point).

her: Oh, yeah!

Me: ...

facepalm.

2nd Grader just sent down by her teacher. Her complaint "Sometimes when I feel like I am about to sneeze, my eyes water". Um, OK. Three more days not including today until Spring Break.

HS student with cramps. Okay, cool. She got OTC meds from me.

Same student <20 minutes later. "My teacher sent me down to lay down because I'm sick."

Mind you, this student doesn't have history of severe menstrual cramps. But okay, as a lady, I've been there. Rested for 15 minutes. Offered heat pack. Student declined. Sent student back to class.

Student reappears <10 minutes later. Sent to me by the front office. I call the teacher. Turns out she returned to class, teacher saw she was still sick and asked her if she wanted to go home, kid said yes. Sends kid to office to call.

Um, no. I told the teacher that sick dismissals need to go through me and not her. She was in the middle of her class when I called, I'm sure. I'm sure I'm going to get reamed out when she vents to other teachers later.

Don't care. At this point, I had to call home as well to avoid confusion.

Really? UGH.

I just had a very similar situation! A HS student came to me in 1st period with menstrual cramps. I gave ibu and asked her to report back in one hour if there is no improvement and I will reassess. She says she felt nauseated for past 2 days but just got her period this morning, and she hadn't realized the pain/nausea was r/t period; says mom was aware she felt sick this morning but they did not know she was about to get her period. An hour later, I get a call from the front desk asking me to send the student down, mom is here to pick up.

Turns out, after leaving my office she text mom that she feels nauseated. No mention of menstruation. Mom comes to pick up. I swear..... these kids.
