UGH!!!
But really guys...A student WALKS in the next day and tells you he has FRACTURED HIS SPINE and you A.) Just believe him (a known truth stretcher) and let him go about his morning, B.) Don't call dad to verify the story and C.) Expect me to take the kid at his word and put that on the accident report.
COME THE HECK ON NOW!!!!!!

That is definitely a "C'mon now" moment

I feel like 99% of the time my staff depends on me to be the fact checker/parent caller for most things, so they probably would have acted the same way

THIS. Really. Common sense, people.

Common sense really is in short supply at this time of year...

Guys, I got emergency called out of my health class for a student having an allergic reaction....

...to pollen. Teacher and admin heard allergic reaction, told me allergic reaction and I'm running with Epi.

Clearly I need to improve on my education re: allergic reactions to students and staff.

i just helped a student wash a huge gob a home made slime out of her hair. Thank god it was apparently made with a base of laundry soap so it came out fairly easily - because thing didn't look like they were going to go so well in the beginning. But really - throwing slime? C'mon now!!

No, I'm not sending you home because you have a little sunburn on your shoulders. You've had lotion. AND Tylenol. And no, its not even blistered. Its barely red. Stop being a snowflake and go to class. Next time wear sunscreen. *no pity*

I thought it was bad the time I had to give tylenol for a skinned knee.

Over the walkie

"Nurse Wine, I'm sending a second grader down who has a bunch of lice in her hair"

Student has dandruff, no sign of lice.

But now I have a line of 2nd grade students with notes that have "itchy head, please check for lice" on them

C'mon now!

Uh, talk about violation of privacy!!

Privacy's out the window - and now that the whole danged school has heard the word lice you might just as well set up shop in the hallway and check everyone...

For what it's worth, licebusters gets like 250 per hour... Who wants to go into business and open a franchise with me - we'll be rich, I tells ya filthy stinking rich!!

I'm with you Flare. I don't know of any lice salons in my area and I am just itching to set up shop!

Sorry for my dorky pun.
