Thank goodness things like recess and dodgeball are still status quo in this school district. The elementary school is right on Rte 13, and so it is not unusual to drive by and see several classes outside for recess at various times of the day. PE classes at all 3 levels of school are also regularly held outside, weather permitting.
Except for an assinine and archaic policy in regard to headlice, this district is not quick to seek drug remedies for problems. Thank goodness. I am working on the ignorance of current public health knowlege that shows the district no nits policy and policy of pushing antibiotics for lice are far more detrimental to the children than the stupid bugs themselves.
Antibiotics for lice??? I've never heard of it.
We got lice a few years ago after a trip to Disneyland.
We tried the medication, but the lice came back.
We finally read about putting mayonaise (or olive oil) on your hair and wrapping it with plastic wrap, and leave on for at least 8 hours. We did this, and it worked.
It was the funniest thing to see me and my kids with plastic wrapped heads.
Antibiotics for lice? I've never heard such a thing. So what is your position on nits? Our schools will allow one or two nits, and just check for the next few days, but more than that and the kids go home.
