I got a kindergarten student in my office waiting for mom to bring clothes cause she had an accident. This is her 8th one and she let other students go ahead of her. She is always suppose to have clothes on her at all times but today she decided to take the clothes out of her backpack today and left it in the car. C'MON

I seriously can't believe some of the parents. If you told your kid not to come to school because they're sick, don't let them come to school! You are still the adult, and you still know them better then they know themselves sometimes!

Similar case, I had a girl with symptoms of a raging UTI who waited like a week and a half to tell mom, and then mom went to make the appointment and the kid told her she wanted to go to school that day and MOM LET HER! Your kid is telling you she's got back pain and painful urination enough that you got her OTC UTI meds, don't let her come to school! She told me she was peeing blood. She didn't come to me until almost the end of the day. But I ended up calling mom and telling her that she really needed to go to a walk-in tonight and not wait another day.

A kid got off the bus today with a sore throat and feeling yucky. I asked if he told anyone before he left the house and he replied, "Yeah, mom is going to pick me up in a little bit."

Lo' and behold mom came and picked him up a little after 8. Guess she wanted to make sure he contaminated the rest of the kids before taking him to the doctor. :banghead:

C'mon now!

I just keep thinking, if you can't put your foot down while she's in 2nd grade, what are you going to do when she's 15?!

And apparently that mom has never had a UTI. Poor girl!!!
