Unwilling link in the enabling chain...

Published

Witnessed an 8th grader doing a bad "sick" impression the other day - bad in that she was trying her best to channel a kindergartener's affect when they're not feeling well.

Oh, and she arrived first thing before even going to class. Guess mom hadn't fallen for the act earlier at home.

It was not a good look on her, especially when she was seen merrily bouncing down the hallway later with some compatriots.

Getting more and more discouraged at how the health office continues to morph into a "Get Out of Class Free Card" for a select (non-sick) portion of the school population.

Anyway, rant over...

I so admire you guys.

For all the silliness & crap that you have to deal with ...

You are the top of the chain in nsg specialties.

JMHO.
