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.

Home life is wreck for him. His meds have been increased recently, but his behaviors are getting worse. CPS is heavily involved with this one, thankfully. A few months ago, he was a really sweet kid, unless mom didn't give his medication which happened a lot, so I started giving it at school. Now the medications don't seem to be working for him at all. Step-dad(the most stable person in his life) was arrested over Christmas break, so it has deteriorated even further.

So sad...have they made med changes at home that include scheduled dosing that is not happening??

I had a similar save last week with a girl convinced that she had a terrible rash on her hands and needed to be sent home right away. The alcohol wipe determined it was a magic marker.

Had TWO of these yesterday. One was a new student and the other a basketball player. Really, I'm not calling anyone for you. Ride the bus, call your mom after school or whatever, but I'm not telling your coach you are sick and need to go home instead of staying at practice.
