years ago a village school

got infestations of nits

time and time again

they struggled to keep

the problem under control

as soon as the nits went

they returned again

turned out the old lady

in there sweet shop was infested

and as she cuddled the children

and fussed over them

she reinfected the children

Those were the days Joy..........she wouldn't be allowed to cuddle the kids nowadays lolol xx

and they wouldnt have nits now to lol

lmao ss i started scratchign as i read your line

my always go to school with there hairs up tight usually in a bun or tight plaits

and have been ok so far

but i do think the nitty nurse should be brought back for definate
the children have book bags that the letter cld be put in so no brown envolopes like wen i was little lol

Muffy, sadly I'm sure the head will tell you his hands are tied on the issue. They can only do so much when the government is too busy worrying about offending these neglectful parents.

Personally, I would keep my child away from the school until the school rectified the situation - its not fair on the children that they have to constantly go through this routine.

Perhaps you should report it to the Public Health Unit at your local NHS Primary Care Trust.

Tina x

by the way I am now itching like mad !

My dad was never ticklish so we had to find a different way to tease him. We discovered that if you scratch your head it makes him itch. Entertainment revolved around scratching your head and muttering "nits, lice..." lol he would laugh as he scratted at his head lol. We were mean to him :-))

Tina, problem with that is that they'd send truancy welfare people round.

Sorry about the itching guys lol.

I don't want to keep her off school Tina as she'd never be there!!!!....... if I had the others willing to speak out we could all threaten a mass boycott and maybe that would set the ball rolling........ but I'm a voice in the wilderness here !!

I'll see if I get any joy from the local paper.......if not....... I'll do as you advise xx

There's always home schooling, muffy :-)

Noooooooooooooooooooooooooo way SS lol

She's an angel at school........a little wotsit here though lololol

In every other way the school is fab......no complaints at all but I don't think it's the schools fault....I think it goes much higher xx

lmao...thought might be the response to be honest lol.

Absolutely, this is a problem that needs sorting at a national level. Petition the health minister!

Sounds like my daughter. When at parents evenings and they're describing her as quiet and polite I keep wanting to ask if we're talking about the same person lol

I actually did Julie as there is another girl with the same name in her class !!!!!!! lol xx

It isn't the fault of the school. They can't control what is going on at home.

We were lucky to get through primary school without my kids getting a nits infection but my older one came home the first week of secondary school absolutely full of the blasted things.

Our real hate was whoever it was in the primary school who kept giving my poor kids thread worms!!! We became positively obsessive about handwashing but someone in the class wasn't bothering. I never got them (thank heavens) but the kids had several infections.

Fortunately whoever it was who was the carrier must have gone to a different secondary school because it all stopped then.

Nasty

Oh gawd.........not come across that one yet..........*frets* xx

Not nice Muffy

I think if you google though you'll see they are nearly as rampant as nits.

My poor kids would be really upset because we first tried a very nasty medicine they had to drink. Later we found a tablet from the chemists which worked just as well and wasn't as traumatic for them.

Sue

Jeeze it does make you wonder what happens at some peoples houses if they aren't treating these things.......... shocking xx

well i think its shocking
like peeps have said if u left a dog with fleas you wld be done for it

children are there to be cherished and looked after in all aspects

I think a letter to the local newspaper might do the trick.
The school wouldnt want the embarrassment, they'd surely have to take action, and get Nitty Nora in to do a check.
