How heavy is your hammer?

Published

Good morning all! It's a rainy day here in Texas! I was just wondering how you guys handle your frequent flyers and the phantom vomiters. When do you bring the "hammer down" on calling home? Already this morning I've had a student say they "threw up this morning" but, as usual, they seems fine by the time they make it to me. I let them call mom but there was no answer (SURPRISE!). The teacher sent the student back down to make sure a message is left for mom, so naturally, a second call was made and a message was left. I've sent said student back to class with instructions to come back if they feel sick again.

So, to summarize, at what point are parents called or are you stricter with your phone call policy?

I'm with honey badger...it really depends on my mood.

And it depends on whether my BS-O-Meter is pinging.
