No, no relax, it's not me or my kids.

Being a teacher you are around other kids though and I had posted before about the lice bug I was handed, well helping this student today she was really itching away and all of a sudden I saw the darn bug crawling up on her hair. UUUUUUGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!


HELP!! I can't stop itching now.... and I really am beginning to get distant to this student because of this. It's the THIRD time this year!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I wonder if someone needs to inform the childs parents that the home,the people that live in the homs, as well as the vehicles need to be sprayed as well there has got to be a reason this child keeps getting it... Maybe the principal or school nurse could talk to her.

My daughter had it about 2 weeks ago and I fumigated real good and (knock on wood) she was clean still when i rechecked yesterday.



Oh good ness gravy, land sakes alive, now my heads itching

We've thought of all that already. Social Services has been called all 3 times. It's just one of those "broken", "unwanted" homes and I feel real bad for this girl, BUT, I have 3 girls of my own that I myself could spread this too if I get it from her, then I lose my pay for working to stay at home with them.

So what do you do? It seems hopeless..... These are the days one hates being a teacher!!!!!!!!!!

The first time we had it I found out the same way. My daughter had been complaining about an itchy scalp, but she thought it was from some hair spray (color) that she used. We had never had it before so I was clueless. Didn't make the connection...She was scratching her head and I saw the bugger LOL flip off her hair onto the couch. One look and I knew it. She was SSSOOO embarrassed that she had been scratching her head in school (7th grade). It was a very bad experience for her.
