As a former school nurse for 1600 k-3rd graders...it was very hard to convince the administration to change. What was most frustrating were not the kids who got it once and the parents attended to it.....but the ones who kept it week in-week out....year after year. They were scratching and miserable...other kids didn't want to be around them....very sad... Thanks for the article.
