Teachers who frequently check their temperatures

Published

Anyone else have that teacher who likes to stop in and take their own temperature several times per week? I have a couple of these here. I used to ask them what was wrong, if they needed anything but now I don;t even look up. Kind of weird they are so obsessed...

Question:

Do your teachers make YOU hold the thermometer or do they do it themselves?

Most of mine come in ask and then open their mouths and stand there.

But mermaids only have oral and axillary route.

Mermaids don't poop? Who knew? :)

Ugh. How would they feel if you walked into their classroom and used their stuff? "Oh I just need one of these! Thanks!"

"I think I have a fever, you think I should go home?"

"Is it more than 99?"

"No."

"Then I don't think so."

"But I feel hot!"

"I think I have one too then, I want to go home too. I got games to get back to!"

I get nothing but BP, especially from the weird sub, she's too panicky sometimes and thinks she has it super high but it's actually normal. I tell her if she get too worried, it's going to get higher.
