[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don't think parent volunteers are capable of diagnosing lice.  My guess is that they'll miss most of the actual cases and most of the kids that they'll diagnose with "nits" will actually just have scalp eczema.

I'm also a little paranoid about parents with big mouths since the time I emailed the other parents in my daughter's second grade class to warn them about my lice in the classroom and one d-bag mother told her 7-year old son, who then made fun of my daughter in front of the whole class for it.

You shouldn't be ashamed of lice. Nearly everybody goes through it one time or another, and you can be a helpful resource for other parents. We have one parent in our grade who's been particularly helpful with combing tips - she's been on the merry go round twice with her girls already. There are no secrets with kids, so let's take the stigma away instead.[/quote]
Your personal experience doesn't equal others. The PP already said her daughter was bullied in the classroom because of it. I agree that being a parent does not automatically mean you know how to identify lice.[/quote]
