    When parents are not upfront on medical forms

    HS and MS nurses, have you ever met a very manipulative student?

    Amethya replied to Avill's topic in School

    I usually threaten that if they take the student out without seeing me or permission, it will count against them as an unexcused absence. Never again have I had this
