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.

We just an an unexpected fire alarm and it was a thunder storm outside.

I feel like half the school followed me to my office for:

New Shirts (NOPE, it's water you will live)

New Socks (We don't have anymore, but even if we did)

and my favorite

"Feeling cold"

Meanwhile the little one who hot and was throwing up right before this chaos started, now reports to feel better "because of the rain"...

C'MON NOW

It is 30 minutes until dismissal.

It has been a nutty day! :wacky:

THAT.DRIVES.ME.CRAZY!!!!

I had a student who withdrew 2 weeks ago (because he went to juvey). 2 days ago, he got mad and punched a wall. Mom dropped him off this morning (without even calling or anything to re-enroll him). Then, she calls counselor to say she is sending stepdad to get him because she is worried he fractured his hand. C'MON NOW!!! And seriously, I looked at it. Other than a few well healing superficial knuckle abrasions, IT WAS FINE!! And kid said he had no pain at all. C'MON NOW (oops already said that).

Kiddo comes in this morning with a stomachache. She said it feels fine when she is laying down, and maybe she needs to lay down at home. I asked her when the last time she went poop was..."Two years ago."

Welp, that explains the stomachache! Called her mom, she told mom that she could only stay half of the day. When mom and I agreed that she could return, she started crying and grabbing her stomach. C'mon now, kid. I wasn't born yesterday.

I know we have visited this subject several times on several different threads, but here goes.

You have a new number, but fail to inform the school. You even have a student with a known medical condition that cause him to pass out. C'mon Now!!!:banghead:

I've been getting the stomachache business all week. Yesterday my hypochondriac 2nd grader comes in with, "my stomach feels bad when I sit down and TERRIBLE when I stand up."

Send back to class with note stating student must stand on head. I bet that stomachache disappears real quick.

Second grade girl just rushed in. Shoved her hand in my face, all I see is a big glob of phlegm coming at me. And she asks "Should I wash this off? I just coughed it up." WHAT DO YOU THINK?? OF COURSE!!!

A kiddo who had been up once already came in and nicely placed a Hershey Kiss in front of me.

Me: "You tryin' to bribe me to let you go home?"

Kid: (big smile) "No."

Me: Checks temp, 100.7 "Well, it worked!"
