I don't know if a nurse could have helped in that emergency situation then and there. Maybe he did just unexpectedly collapse, BUT, maybe there were signs that were missed earlier that month, week,...
No, I understand that. But what I don't understand is why the principal is even entertaining the thought of the oils and diffusers. If that was approached in my district (either my working or my kids'...
Do we work in the same school? Are you me??? Seriously, I could have posted this. I, too, have completely ran out of room in my locked cabinet and it is so frustrating. Parents need to be parents, but...
I bought my own. Found one for $100. I actually bought my own chair too because I was tired of being stabbed in the butt by the broken one I had and I was constantly told that there were no spare...
So, I feel like everyone is engaging in puberty talks and I just HAVE to tell this story that my son told me over the weekend. He is in 5th grade and they will be going on a longer field trip later...
