   Oh, yes!!! You come in talking and smiling, then when I ask what is wrong, (pained look comes over your face) "I have a migraine." Really?!

4. Weird reasons to come to school nurse?

   cooties_are_real replied to Avill's topic in School

   Little Darling comes in the office. I asked her why she came to the office, she touches her hair that came out of the bun. Yes she wanted us to put it back in.

   they walk out of your life.... My young man, who I have seen so much growth in this year, just came by to say, "So long." 4 years ago before I ever met him, we had already been informed of student ODD and other diagnosis that made it very hard to con...

    Not that I am aware of.

15. Concussion Frustration

    cooties_are_real replied to cooties_are_real's topic in School
