2) I don't clean the childs shirt if they spilled something on it
3) I wont sew up your pants or a students pants
4) I wont recheck a student who YOU THINK is sick.
5) I will not notify the entire school for one student having lice..and no I will not check yours if you ask.
6) I only stock advil and Tylenol. STOP asking me for Midol, Aleve, Tums, robitussin etc
7)If your sick, YOU tell the principal YOU are going home using a sick day, Do NOT tell the principal that I am sending you home. Last I look you are a stinkin' grown up
8) I need my lunch hour to regroup and take a breath, DO NOT send the student down for a sneeze, a cough, a stomach ache, a hair tie, a new shoelace etc.
9)I will not allow a student to hang in my office because you simply cannot handle his outburst...call his caseworker
10) please stop telling me how great your kids school nurse is because she never calls you especially when you told me you sent them in with a high fever today....
whew, just the tip of iceberg, but thanks for listening.
how about the teachers that decide that your office is the perfect holding area for kids that don't want to go out in the cold for fear of getting sick (due to parent request or otherwise...)? I'm forever challenging their logic of trying to keep someone healthy by putting them in the same room with the kids that have fever, vomiting and diarrhea.
Stupid cold myth. Luckily one of the HS science teachers debunks this with me .
Also, exercise. Trust me, letting the kid outside to run off some energy is just what you will wish you did do when they are needing that energy release later during a [insert subject] lesson...
i actually have a child who has a 504 written to be in in the temp is below a certain degree. She actually had a medical doctor write her written documentation to support this. i brought up plenty of talking points in the original meeting (fire drills, extended emergency if we should have to evacuate the school in cold temps, if she plays outside at home etc.) all were rebuffed and i was presented with a signed document. SIGH... whatevs, i am beyond the point of caring..... i'll make it a point when this child is in high school to drive past her bus stop on winter mornings. She sure isn't staying in my office instead of going outside.

Why is she in your office? If a student can't participate in gym, they don't stay with me. They sit in the main office and/or library just across from the main office.
I'd hate dealing with that parent after that child picks up the stomach bug from sitting in my office during gym with the kid vomiting and waiting to be picked up by a parent...
she's not in my office. I made it crystal clear to the parent that if the point was that she couldn't go outside for fear of getting sick, then the idea of sitting in my office as a substitute was way off base. i don't know where she stays - i think in the cafeteria.

I ahve a student with a 504 for cold uticaria. Broke out in hives when it was 50 degrees. Our fire alarm went off earlier this week and it's 40 degrees out. No major reaction, but last year the alarm went off when it was -10 outside. He and I huddled just inside the doors. It was a burst pipe, I guess for a real fire, we would have run over to the other school on our campus.

Or a car perhaps? How far away is the parking lot?

Depends on where in the school the kid is when the alarm sounds. He could be exiting right into the staff lot or on the other side of the building. He broke out in hives in minutes last year when it was so cold here. It was awful for all the kids. Luckily, we were outside for under 10 minutes but no one had a jacket or anything. I had one kid in my office and gave her my jacket but -10 degrees is REALLY FREAKING cold!!
