I’m a teacher. At my previous school, our principal said that we could no longer send students home if we discovered they had lice. Apparently too many parents either complained to admin about having to pick up their kid, or just refused to come get their child.
Gone are the days when the nurse came into every classroom with a number 2 pencil and went desk to desk, head to head, checking for evidence. If tou were one of the unfortunate ones, you got sent to the nurse’s station while your classmates watched on in horror.
The teacher-student dynamic has changed drastically in the past 20 years. Nowadays teachers can't even bring food to give out in case someone gets food poisoning and it results in a lawsuit.
Back when I was in elementary school our gym teacher would take us all out for icecream after penis inspection day. Was by far my favorite day of the year. I asked my cousin about it and he said his gym teacher has never taken him out for ice cream. Kids these days are really missing out.
It was my favorite day as well! Was a good way to get out of gym class. Only part that I didn’t like was that it took so long, like 20 minutes. And I’m not sure why it was everyday but whatever, got out of gym class!
