[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]"About "no-nit" policies Some schools have "no-nit" policies stating that students who still have nits in their hair cannot return to school. The AAP and the National Association of School Nurses discourage such policies and believe a child should not miss school because of head lice." https://www.healthychildren.org/English/health-issues/conditions/from-insects-animals/Pages/Signs-of-Lice.aspx [/quote] I hate this policy. It means my two daughters with beautiful long hair are vulnerable to their classmate with lower thresholds of personal hygiene. I've already had to comb out lice acquired from classmates, once. I don't want to do it again just because the parents of the licey children can't take care of their own business.[/quote] Re-frame: I am the PP and completely in favor of "no-nit" policies. It's the casual acceptance of lice in the schools that is so disturbing. [/quote]
