Why are drugs such an insane problem in high schools now? ? Or was I just an oblivious square back in the day?

Kid in my office, mom always sends her with a fever because "she said we will get in trouble by the court".

Kid is just babbling on and on...and on. Every once in a while I will nod or say "yeah", or "wow". But then I overhear her say "humans will get their revenge on birds. One day." As she is holding up her fist and whispering.

Mmmkay kid. Lay down and stop talking.

I understand that you may not believe that your child is vomiting as much as she does, but I see it and smell it with my own eyes...so yes, you do, in fact, need to come get her even though she's afebrile. If you get with me about an action plan to keep her in school with some medication AT SCHOOL to help her tame her nausea, sure...let's talk. But you do still have to come get her.

Had the same thing happen last week with a parent - went round in round with her over the phone, yes the kid is a manipulator but I didn't think she was with this incident - not when she projectile vomits in classroom and proceeds to projectile vomit down the hall to my office 2 days in a row.

At end of phone call I ended up just saying - "maybe you need to have a conversation with your daughter if you feel she is faking" Mom hung up on me and showed up 30 minutes later to pick her up.

Yep, pretty much same scenario, except she was very loudly rude to me in the front office in front of everyone when picking up kiddo.

I just don't get parents that make a big deal about bringing an unopened bottle of advil. "But I don't have any unopened bottles at home......................"

But maybe the 2 cvs's. walgreens, walmart, target and dollar store you pass on the way to get to the school while picking up your child's daily chick fil a lunch do. Just saying!

I want to know what kind of camp costs $10,000 a summer.
How long is the camp?
What kinds of things do they do?
Do parents see the kids at all?
So many questions.
I complain about the increased Church camp price and it's only $196 for a week.

3 months

Basically normal camp stuff.

Only like twice in the 3 months

These kids were rich as fluff! Like one kid was telling about his private jet and how he went to Hawaii one summer, like what?

Student has been telling her teachers that she's having her appendix out Sunday. Teacher stands in my clinic, with the student, wanting me to call mom this very second to verify student is not scheduled for an appendectomy on Sunday. The student who is laughing and in no obvious pain or discomfort and swears they scheduled it so she wouldn't miss school. All while I'm looking the teacher dead in the eye, saying "appendectomies are an EMERGENCY surgery".

Teacher left saying "so, you'll call mom?"

Oy. And most scheduled surgeries aren't on Sunday.
