    The mile run-- hold me!

    Flare replied to nmr79's topic in School

    body odor

    Flare replied to plainfieldguy's topic in School

    i have spoken to kids about hygiene - and i do have deodorants here. But, as others have said, there is no law against being stinky. I can gently advise a student that they are of a certain age...

    Flare replied to OyWithThePoodles's topic in School

    This brought tears to my eyes - of joy because we know we're not alone and hilarity because it's just the brutal truth. And you know the other staff sees you with the wheelchair and they all say "oh...
