[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]i think its a little creepy how some poster is obsessed with free tampons. Should we make kids bring their own toilet paper to school, too? Its the same thing.[/quote]

:roll:

What’s next - making teachers wipe kids butts if their parents didn’t teach them right? [/quote]

That’s a crazy comparison. Tampons are free in the nurses office should a student need one. Having them in the bathroom just freaking saves time. Chill. [/quote]

What a dumb observation. Having supplies available for request in rare circumstances is different than becoming the primary provider.  But yours is the mindset that’s turned FCPS into an organization that worries about handing out free stuff in some areas when it needs to be focused on the academic needs of students across the entire county.

If things were different they’d have a Chief Academic Officer and an IT head that between them could have actually delivered the distance learning solutions needed right now. [/quote]

You are comparing apples and oranges. Having tampons readily accessible so that female students who need them can just take it and continue onward with school is very different than implementing effective distance learning.

Plenty of wealthy people forget a tampon. Girls in middle school might get their period for the first time in class. Being able to run to the bathroom and get a tampon and head back to class minimizes overall disruption, and also allows the nurse to take care of more important things than handing out sanitary products.

Mensuration happens monthly, so it’s not necessarily a rare occurrence. This isn’t a political argument. I’m fiscally conservative, a teacher, and think schools spend a ton of money on dumb crap we never use like Blackboard for instance. But tampons not so much. I’d rather not have janitors cleaning up biohazards [/quote]
