[quote=Anonymous]LCPS teacher here and the school nurse hands out free pads. I along with most female teachers also keep a stash for students. We also include tampons in our stashes because the nurse is only permitted to hand out pads. I keep them in the same closet in my room that has the snacks to try to make it less embarrassing. I teach mainly 9th graders who are still pretty uncomfortable with period related things.

And shame on anyone for saying they don't want their tax money paying for free pads! How blessed you must be to never have had to struggle to buy personal healthcare essentials. I received a thank you note from a young lady who said she wished she could give me more than a note to express how thankful she was for my stash because her mother made them ration at home and she was able to concentrate better knowing she could grab some from me and not constantly be worried about leaking.

And you know, even the students who take a few extra to get through the day/week aren't greedy about it. It's not like at Halloween when you place a bowl of candy out unattended and the first person swipes it all. It's also not just the low income kids either. Surprise periods happen to us all from time to time. [/quote]
