Things I should not have to say...

Things I should not have to stay, but say multiple times per day.

(MS/HS setting)

- Carry the ice back to class. Please don't walk and try and ice your ankle at the same time.

It hasn't been much of an issue this year until just today but....

"If it isn't bleeding, it doesn't need a bandaid" 

[BeckyESRN]

"I know the new table is beautiful, but you CANNOT lick it" said as a group of students was standing around a newly delivered carved wood table for out lobby. They has their grimey little hands all over it, rubbing it, then one 4th grader said "It's so beautiful, I can't stop touching it. I want to lick it!" and all of the other students chimed in "me too, me too". So gross

I should not have to remind the teachers at my high school not to send students just to get a snack!

And I should not have to remind teachers not to send kids just because they are sleeping in class.

Why did you pick up the dead bird and proceed to chase your classmates with it? (Middle school)

Why do you have a porcupine quill in your finger?

Yes, a hunger headache is from hunger. Please eat.

This is in high school. EVERY. DAY. and no, I do not have snacks.

Same with the stomach aches... And they always seem to come in right BEFORE snack/lunch.

No, your finger did not get longer in the past hour.

with the older kids, I've started to say "Well, your class is about to eat (snack/lunch) and your (stomach ache/headache) just started 10 minutes ago. What do you think I'm going to tell you?" They know me well enough now that most of them kinda look at their feet and mumble "Try to eat lunch and come back at recess if its still bothering me...." and walk out. But, I still wish I didn't have to say it...

Right! And I have elementary school kids. They come right when lunch is about to start and I'm like, "you know what you have to do right?" They're like "eat or poop?" ?
