I just saw the third teen today for a temp check.
Sent by the teacher.
Because our AC is kicking on high and these are teeny tiny girls wearing skimpy dresses saying they're cold.
NO DUH!!!! Put come clothes on and turn the air down a bit, and they probably won't be so hot. To the teacher who is forever saying "I'm burning up"- just because you're hot all of the time doesn't mean the little girls who are cold are febrile. It doesn't help that you're menopausal!!!!!!! It's called HOT FLASHES! :angryfire
I will be more than happy to check their temp and send them back to class, but think it through.
I had a second grade teacher bring me a student with an ugly bruise on her upper arm. The student's family has had custodial issues and the teacher wanted to make sure that the bruise was documented "just in case" (admirable, I admit). I took a quick look at her arm and the size and shape of the bruise and asked the little girl if she had been sucking on her arm lately.Indeed, she had. Self-induced hicky! I tried not to laugh but it was pretty obvious to me.
Have had a girl do that at my school also !
I think the scare is finally easing up in Mexico. Here in Texas my school is wishing we could've had the 1-2 weeks off and teachers jokingly ask if can make just one swine flu case. I say yeah, go get some pigs and breathe in his face real close and let's see what we can get. But they are still having us send in daily flu and absent counts to the head nurse. Now that TAKS (big school test) is over, the clinic is seeing more traffic of bored students with nothing to do.
