School & Pet Peeve. . .

[Melissa Burnell]

we have soap in the bathrooms and they still keep the antibacterial gels in the

classroom. Kids don’t always do a great job of washing their hands, if they wash

at all. This way, teachers can be sure they all have been reasonably cleaned if

they use the gel routinely when they come back to the classroom. Probably cuts

down on illnesses since it takes care of the germs picked up from doorknobs,

etc. on the trip back!

I agree totally – at my daughter’s school last year they had a flu

epidemic – hundreds of children out for 2 weeks. They lose state funds

when children are absent. We received a note from the kindergarten

teachers asking for antibacterial wipes for the children to use when

the bathrooms are out of soap. excuse me!?! maybe if the district

would ante up some soap in the bathrooms, there wouldn’t have been a

flu epidemic!

(we have to provide 4 boxes of crayons this year. At the end of

school, the teacher returned 1 box to me in DD’s bag which I put back

for this year.)

Watch the Office Depot sales – a couple weeks ago I bought glue for

$0.09 a bottle – Bic pens (12 ct) for $0.25 ea. and 3 ring binders

2/$1. I’ve just been gathering the stuff as I see it and putting it

back.
