Unless those kids that show up in the last 15 min of the day are holding a bucket of puke or a rag to stop the bleeding, they get a quick temp check and sent back to class. They made it this long,...

I have a vague memory of sitting in a closet of an office, throwing up in a bucket and my mom coming to get me. That was elementary. I switched schools for Jr/Sr high and never had a school nurse....
