[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So I’m sure I’m alone in this, but yeah lice are annoying but they’re also…. Wait for it…. Harmless. They don’t spread disease. Kids are rightfully not excluded from school just for having lice. Like…. if your kid comes home with an itchy head, treat it and move on. No one is dying or behind hospitalized because of head lice.

And? How is this a public health emergency that requires schools to track, notify parents, and exclude children from school? We don’t even do that for the flu, which spreads like wildfire in classrooms and actually kills 100+ children every year. Lice are super gross. They’re also not dangerous. Lots of things about kids, schools, and parenting are gross. I bet half of these parents who are losing their minds over something as harmless as head lice send their kids to school on Motrin when they had a fever the night before. Now there is something that could actually inadvertently cause another child in the class to be hospitalized. [/quote]

Agreed. The parents at our school keep talking about "tracking" lice in the classrooms. I honestly don't know what they are talking about. I do think people should report it and that the school should let families know when there are cases, because I don't want to get it. But I don't really care if the school does anything beyond that.[/quote]
