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.

I feel our "monkey bars" need to be removed. I say "monkey bars" because it is just a single long long about 8 or more feet off the ground.

I've had multiple head bumps and a broken ankle that required surgery from falls from the stupid things.

I absolutely agree! Nearly all of my serious incidents are from the monkey bars!

But no one will ever be able to tear those down. I've caught staff playing on them before lol

I had one teacher go home sick yesterday after visiting with me. She had all of the same symptoms as a few of the little ones I sent home during the day.

Today I've checked 5 teachers temps because they feel "exactly like" the teacher who went home yesterday...

C'mon now!

I swear they are just as bad as the students sometimes

KLove isn't working on my school computer. It hasn't for days. This makes me sad. That is all.

35 minutes prior to dismissal a 1st grader comes down because, as his teacher put it, he was too tired to make good choices,so he needed to rest before going home. uh-huh, whatever. But anyway, kiddo starts walking in and drops his backpack at my door, his jacket a step later, then a shoe, then the other shoe, then his hoodie comes off and now I have a trail of belongings the entire length of my outer office. As he flopped, face first, onto a cot I said "Dude, what are you doing?"

He didn't even look up and said "My teacher said to make myself at home in your office. This is what I do at home."

I told him that my office is not "home" and he needed to pick up his stuff. He did so begrudgingly. C'Mon Now!

How frustrating! I think I would be contacting that teacher and asking "Johnny said you said to make himself at home in my office...?"

Eleventh grade girl comes into my office asking for ibuprofen for her "fractured wrist". I look, there's no cast, no splint, no nothing on said wrist. The following conversation ensues:

Me: You broke your wrist? Did they do xrays?

Her: Yeah, they're going to do another set in a few weeks to see if I need surgery.

Me: But you don't have a cast on?!?

Her: I had an allergic reaction to the cast so they took it off.

Me: But they didn't put you in a splint or anything?

Her: No.

Me: I feel like that's highly unlikely, are you sure they said fracture or break?

Her: Yeah, I am.

Me: .....

Me: When did you injure yourself?

Her: Two years ago.

Me: >
