[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Wanted opinions on if I am overreacting - there is a lice outbreak at our school and school policy states they will do head checks on all students before entering and then do that again at 7 and 30 days.  Two weeks ago the outbreak started and they did things like was the stuffed animals but no head checks when students came in. Now there was another outbreak, did head checks and said no more cases.  A concerned parent asked to have a lice clinic check the kids and they ended up finding four more cases which tells me the teachers didn’t do a good job checking.  The director told us checks would be done on Monday morning when kids came in - also did not happen today.

I am pissed off - while I know lice aren’t going to harm a child, they are gross and if my kid gets it, I’ll have to take off work to manage it which is a huge pain.  Am I overreacting?  Any advice for how to handle?  I am mad that policy is not being followed and they are totally lying to us.[/quote]

You do not have to take off work to manage lice. It’s 30-45 minutes of combing once every 2-3 days. Also, without wet hair and a metal lice comb it’s impossible for your school to be actually checking for lice. They are just paying lip service. Please educate yourself - you sound like a moron.[/quote]
