Are there any apecial discussions involving health problems within the school environment. Why don't we have the frequent attention to our health issues? Any questions? Any answers? Msofherhoo

Our school has a program through the local hospital called "Nurse Rosy". She comes in and talks with each classroom individually about age appropriate topics ie: Hand washing etc for younger kids to more advanced topics for the older ones. She gives out little coloring books etc.

Are you talking about the schools mold-in-the- ceiling problems or about outbreaks of contagious diseases? Kathie

Not so much mold on the ceiling, Thanks..I'd like to know how to share with some parents the reality of the contagious disease in and amongst the school children. From the Head to the toes. Being in the school system daily, as an employee and a volunteer, I only see a common sense issue as a parent. I know many family's are substantially abundant in size, but I sense getting a point across seems easy for a medical person(maybe it is the etiquette), but a simple aid doesn't seem to connect to the priority of the matter. I've watched kids come to school nice and clean early in the morning and before there even enter into the classroom they need to toss there clothes into the Tide batch.The enjoyment of play...is our time traveling faster on Earth now?I have many kids who still haven't learned to tie there shoes. Why do parents think there kids are going to learn this at school? Oh well back to my studying, hoping to find what will conquer this subject and I to can print a successful outcome or cure.
