(my son is in 6th grade) They went on to say that all of the kids in the grade had been inspected by medical professionals and if we hadn't received a note specifically saying that our kid had lice, then they were OK.<br />When my kids got home, I asked my son about the incident. Apparently, the "medical professional" who checked him was the ditsy school receptionist. <br />I was not impressed.Jillybeanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12150574987267072428noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29186394.post-57199143521695062522012-02-13T21:13:01.688-05:002012-02-13T21:13:01.688-05:00Oh God I hate lice!!

TWO movies it would take to comb out all that hair. <br /><br />I learned a better way to get rid of them than the chemical stuff though (apparently ours were too intelligent for that stuff). Witch hazel and tea tree oil.

Something about the coarseness of the hair shafts. I don't know this to be fact, but I know the school I taught in never checked the AA children, only the white and bi-racial.

The nurse (with a team of parent volunteers) checks every kid at the beginning of the year and after every school closure (like Christmas break). She recently found one kid in my kid's class - everyone gets a note home - and the nurse re-checks the kids every couple of days. Your school should be doing more.Magpiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15460136246441367993noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29186394.post-38300781432858106752012-02-13T11:53:41.304-05:002012-02-13T11:53:41.304-05:00You know, I should have known it would come back t...You know, I should have known it would come back to bite me.Suburban Correspondenthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11488916572135296650noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29186394.post-58947479276700843982012-02-13T10:48:40.242-05:002012-02-13T10:48:40.242-05:00That has got to be the biggest slap in the face--a...That has got to be the biggest slap in the face--all that relaxation undone by the damn lice.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29186394.post-26974522565290080592012-02-13T09:52:00.819-05:002012-02-13T09:52:00.819-05:00My thoughts, exactly.

And I think it got cut off at "texted me to say," and I knew exactly what she was going to tell you. It could have been that one of her daughters had started puking, but no, I knew it was going to be lice. My kids have gone to school with tea tree oil rubbed into their hair every single day since the first day of school, even though we've gotten no warnings. I don't care. It makes me feel like I'm doing something preventative, anyway, even if it's rumor and hearsay.
