Parents get me ! Maybe its just my school... but have you ever had kids come to the HR and say this: " My dad said that if I'm not feeling well then go to the HR and he'll pick me up"
Uh duh ! If you already promise your child that you will pick them up if they are not " feeling well" then 9 times outta ten they are going to come to the health room to go home. The bell haven't even rung before this kid was in my office ready to go home because of what dad told him. He had a SA, his temp was a perfect 98.6. No nausea/ vomiting, or diarrhea.
So what I did I do ? I had to call dad obviously, dad didn't answer but I left a message. But I did send him back to class and told him when I hear from dad I'll let you know. The teacher then gets mad, I can hear her talking about me behind my back to the secretaries because " he couldn't wait in the HR".
Do you ever have kids that come to the HR, ready to go home, based on the promises their parents made ?
