[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The one poster coming back with the “follow the rule” retorts…

Do you think the tech/nurse has enough time or room in her room for 1500 bottles of ibuprofen in a school that has 2500 kids? You are talking EASILY 150 more kids coming down a day than normal. They are already short staffed and have diabetics, allergies, immunocompromised students, along with all the mental and physical sicknesses. Not to mention the Covid policies. They also don’t have room for kids to lye down with cramps or headaches. And no chance they can call all of their parents for approval.

No one cares that kids carry Advil for cramps or headaches. No one has time otherwise, even more now that schools are overcrowded and understaffed. So it has been silently allowed for years and years to make it easier for everyone.

I’m the “troll.” I work in a high school and my point stands. It’s policy. If people don’t like it, change it. While it is policy, I am going to enforce it.

There are threads all over DCUM about chaos in MCPS schools. As long as we allow students (and parents) to pick and choose the rules they are going to follow, we can expect the chaos to continue.

You may “silently allow” something, but all you are doing is contributing to the current state of our schools. Classroom teachers have to put up with the mess caused by all the people picking and choosing rules.

I’m 100% correct on this from a policy standpoint. For a school system that’s this far out of control, we need more people to clean this mess up instead of fewer. [/quote]
