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.

And for today's skills set....

Miss, my earring came out.

(Please keep in mind, these are high school students)

This is my life. I had to tell a 2nd grader that I no longer put in earrings. I've seen her at least once a day, but usually 2-3 times because she keeps taking out her earrings. 19 days of school, 39+ earring visits. I started a tally sheet?

I think once it passed day 3 I would call home and let them know. She needs to hear from multiple adults that earrings stay in all day or not at all. The only time I help with earrings is if the student is really struggling to find the hole and making a bloody (literally) mess or if there are s/s of infection of the hole. Y'know... medical stuff.

In HS, I do V/H on new students. They have now found out where the clinic is. I have a whole new batch of FF. ?

Unfortunately, it's one of the voicemail is full, email disappears into cyber space parents. I was hoping the multiple conversations I had with the teacher would have cut down on it, but nope.

Y'all!!! Prepare yourselves. Like seriously, this is going to BLOW. YOUR. MINDS.

Our district now has a live lice can stay policy.

You read that right. Did I just make your day? You're welcome.

Love it! We didn't have a written policy when I started, so I phone home when I find lice. If parents are wanting to pick up they can, but I let them know that the child is welcome to stay. I don't tell the teachers who has lice. Everyone has survived.

I like that plan; Realistically the other families and teachers don't need to know.

Our district has an antiquated policy with exclusion for live lice; Students with nits can stay, luckily, and we don't do school-wide lice checks any longer - just siblings and classrooms. Wish it were more of a "Less is More" type of deal!
