The way things should be

So, on top of flu, strep and pink eye, the secretary came with... LICE. She said that a mom called to "let us know that we must have lice". She went to the Principal who said to let me know. I sat back in my chair, said not our problem and went about my business. The Principal stopped by and confirmed it, and just like that, one less issue. The way it should be.

Oh thank goodness for your principal's common sense. The way some parents talk about it, you'd think the kids have come up with a new secret challenge where they rub heads together all day to see who can catch the most lice.

The best part is this could be a school that transmits easily, students are constantly sitting in each others laps and literally head to head during group times, but this student is the loner who keeps a distance.
