    Private school nurses, do your kids attend for free?

    OldDude replied to kira261's topic in School

    If you want to start a family - start a family. School district, upside down mortgage, financial strain, all aren't relevant. If you wait to be in the perfect position to start a family you and your...

    Wrap it up?

    OldDude replied to Flare's topic in School

    Don't worry about it. Wrapping some complaint site (with no sign of injury) simply for comfort is less invasive than cleaning an abrasion and applying a

    Wrap it up?

    OldDude replied to Flare's topic in School

    Under those circumstances I probably would wrap it, loosely, tape it in place, and let the magic pain relief

    Student's hygiene?

    OldDude replied to zombieghoast's topic in School

    The last thing I would want is for a child to feel excluded by other kids at school, or anywhere for that matter. The point I want to make is, in situations like this, the other kids may not have an...

    Student's hygiene?

    OldDude replied to zombieghoast's topic in School

    Just to be the fly in the ointment, does your school have a policy requiring underwear and socks and that the students smell in accordance to some quantifiable measurement gauged by staff

    Is there a newbie curse? I think there is a newbie curse

    OldDude replied to SaltineQueen's topic in School

    It's not a newbie curse. My own theory as to why there are so many injuries, especially playground injuries, is that a large number of kids are not accustomed to playing outside except for the brief...

    Entitlement - Are We Making The Problem Worse?

    OldDude replied to OyWithThePoodles's topic in School

    It's been my observation that 90% of the ice packs handed out are used to offset the feeling of the injured child that some insult or embarrassment has occurred. "So and so pushed me," or "he hit me...

    Entitlement - Are We Making The Problem Worse?

    OldDude replied to OyWithThePoodles's topic in School

    I would say we are making the problem worse but we "alone" can't fix it and we are not going to get any support if we try. It's worrisome to me how a lot of kids today seem to be so delicate and...
