[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My middle schooler has a zipper on her lunch box and I put a tiny pouch with 4 Advil in there. Have done it for years.

Yes she is breaking the rules. No we don’t care. She gets bad cramps and I work. No one has time for doctor notes and going to the nurse. [/quote]

Planning to do the same for my MS girl.[/quote]

I had a student leave their lunch box in my classroom.  I looked inside, hoping there was a name, and found pills.  This family basically forced me to make a choice between risking my career and getting a kid in major trouble.

It’s an incredibly selfish move.  [/quote]

Hopefully you learned a valuable lesson not to snoop.[/quote]

So just throw it out?  Because I am not leaving a lunch box full of food in my classroom over the weekend.  [/quote]

Fellow teacher here. You didn’t do anything wrong when you looked in the lunchbox. If anybody is hiding anything (like pills!), that’s on them.

Good luck this year. It seems like we are going to need it. [/quote]

Based on this thread I think you’re right.

As a parent I have not and would not send any medication with my kid. I don’t want a suspension on the record. I don’t tell my kid to thwart the rules. Even if I would, my kid would tell me she doesn’t need it because she doesn’t want to break the rules. Also she is very aware of the drug issues and understands the need for the rules. And, if she had them and a friend needed them, I could see my daughter offering and that is a bad road to travel.

The form is not that big of a deal. If I had the problems with my pediatrician that some of the posters here have, I’d have a new doctor. It’s ridiculous that you can’t get a form signed. I’ve never had an issue. It’s inconvenient but so are a lot of parenting things. [/quote]
