Yeesh. I didn't know that. When I got ill with the stomach flu in the 8th grade, I got sent home. Unfortunately, my parents couldn't be reached, so I was walking home. One of my teachers spotted me (I had left during the last period of the day) and offered to give me a ride home. I turned her down, because I didn't have much further to go (and I was afraid I'd puke in her car, lol). It's hard to imagine she would be violating school policy with that. I can understand why it's there (For cases like the one here) but I guess they get into the habit of overlooking it, when a teacher would usually be helping for benign reasons.

Besides, I'm sure there are some whacked out folks that think what the nurse did was benign anyway. Ugh.

It's hard to imagine she would be violating school policy with that.

Actually, I think it's mostly for self-protection. If a teacher got into an accident with a student in the car, s/he could be held personally liable, and the student could also claim that the teacher attempted molestation, if the student were malicious. And so on....
