Somebody please remind me again, why the School Nurse is the person who has to address parents about their child having body odor ??
Teachers call me about this and expect me to work some miracles or something.
Seriously ??

i always say that miracles occur multiple times a day in this office - whether it's the miracle granting water to a dry scratchy throat or simply granting someone permission to poop. Our powers know no bounds.
Now if you'll excuse me, I have a late entry into my office - one that practically skipped in but somehow is complaining that they twisted their ankle... Jesus, let them walk again with the power of the dismissal bell!!

I've never understood that either . . . there is one young boy who doesn't do a good job wiping. I finally ended up buying him some of those flushable wet wipes to take home. His parents are dysfunctional so I don't blame the poor little kid. But yeah, the teacher called the nurse to deal with it.
We do have Chutzpah.

Had LD a couple of years ago that I got complaints on all the time. At one point it was his shoes. Talking about some funky feet! He got new shoes and the calls stopped for about 3 wks. I started to get calls again. Finally called mom and she was like, "yeah, we've had this problem since he was in the 3rd grade and he just doesn't care" (REALLY!) So she brought him a hygiene kit (which he never used). Now that he is a junior I'm not getting those calls, but it became very frustrating because you can't make some one care.
We have LD's little sister and I have gotten a call about her also. Hopefully she will start caring, too.
