My husband's friend once got them tickets to a concert for being the first person to bring a live duck to the mall where the radio DJs were broadcasting. Apparently they didn't care about their...
A remarkably stupid one. I liked it when I saw it in the school catalog but in actuality it looked ridiculous on me and got knocked on crib tops and IV poles. I kept forgetting that it added 3 inches...

And if they want to miss math class but don't want to face that teacher or know Mr Math will say no, they try to come at the end of Lit and hope you'll let them linger all through math. (don't they...
My kids just don't work that way. They will sit out their perceived injury in the health room even during recess. If I let them sit in the sick room, they get too cozy. If I put them in the waiting...

I always hate cultural competence classes in nursing school or CE. They always seem to cross over the fine line between understanding and assuming. An awareness can easily become a
I'm a little jealous of the molluscum standing orders. I have a kid with that and as far as I know, I'm not allowed to express the contents. (I didn't even think it had contents that could be...
I don't even have time to do my health room laundry during the week at camp. If I can snag an empty washer, I can, but most weeks, I take it home with me. (I'd rather use my washer on my time when I...

I'm an "extra" float nurse for my district so the certified nurses can rotate. Sometimes I'm alone in a building they would normally be in. Sometimes I'm in a busier building as a second nurse during...
We have to check and keep their vaccination and physical records. (which I'm glad for because in some states, home schooled and cyber schooled students have been horribly abused without anyone...

We didn't dare let anyone offer us a change of clothes in the early 80s at my school. One girl did and wore horrid orange bell bottoms for the rest of the day. I still remember the way we all shared...

I used to be a home health aide for a child with CP. Her mom used to say "skin will grow back and clothes can be replaced. She only gets one childhood to make a mess, fall down, and have fun!" I loved...
It was fingertip length apparently and not at all see through. A long tee as a dress isn't my taste and neither is her precise wrap but then, a lot of things I see aren't my taste. Doesn't mean it's...

Yes! I had a mom flip out that we let kids drink tap water and offered to donate water. She was ranting about the town water report. Something about salt. Um. I live within 10 blocks of the school and...
In general Munchhausen By Proxy is now called Fictitious Disorder by Proxy but you're right, there definitely seem to be some other psych disorders that are "by proxy" where the parents mean no harm...

We buy tablets so we can stock all rooms in case of lockdown and keep some fruit snacks (I like the tiny halloween packets) but even our least co-operative parents are good at keeping us stocked with...

They sort of snuck it in with no real warning. It's scary when companies change ingredients after you have identified them as safe (although these never truly were) Between this and the snack thread,...

Yes! We notice. Sighs when I take a day off or my daughter misses school for holidays like first night of Passover but no one would think of coming to school on Good
CampyCamp replied to Imnotasnacklady's topic in School
Wow. I guess we're lucky. I do give out snack in elementary schools but I've never had a demand like that! It's actually very rare and often I suggest it rather than the kid asking. Occasionally a kid...
