[quote=Anonymous]Think for a moment about why children are allowed to go to school with nits. First, although nits and lice are gross and irritating, they don't actually carry disease. Nobody is getting sick from lice. Second, lower SES families get especially hurt if kids can't go to school with nits. They may not have the resources/access to info about how to get rid of lice - not paying $300 for the lice lady to visit their house. If their kid has to stay home with nits, they can't go to work or the kid might not be properly supervised. And then a kid who really needs to be in school has to miss school. Yeah, it sucks to deal with a lice infestation but we have to get over the stigma and talk about it, to have any hope of defeating them. [/quote]
