I've never seen any school my 4 kids have been in that will dispense any med to them. If they are on a prescription it has to be brought in it's original bottle and forms filled out by the parent. Over the counter stuff cannot be kept in purses or lockers, has to be given in at the office and they will not give it without direct permission each and every time. I suspect this is a liability issue in the days of our "sue first, talk later" society.

I don't think kids should have their cell phones on during school hours. I think they should have them for emergency purposes but there's really no need for the distraction of them during the time they should be involved in school activities. Texting mom though is you are sick and need meds is, for me anyways, a completely reasonable thing to do.

I have only one complaint with our kids....I hate being referred to as "dude" - ARGH! The older three have all have tried it and they all get the same response..."you can call me mom, mommy, momma or yes ma'am...you may NOT call me DUDE!" Usually I follow this up with the threats to dress in a tube top, daisy dukes and belt out show tunes next time their friends drop over (this one always works ladies...patent pending) LOL

*wildly scribbling notes* :yes:

My kids are only 5 and 7, so this is not a issue ... YET. Of course I've already received a couple looks insinuating that I am the DUMBEST thing that has ever crossed their paths.... and it begins. :rolleyes:

Oh you just wait Christie girl. They start rolling their eyes at you so much you consider making a neurology appointment (threaten to do that, makes them stop with the eye rolling thing for awhile). Then there's the ever popular "MUUUUUUTHEEEERRRRRR" accompanied by the look that says "you were never young, you do not understand meeeeeeeeeeeeeeee". Apparently children think we spring fully adult and fertile from the ground at some point???

my mom makes threats like this (well used to) i'm 23 now, and all my pigs friends would probably like it now, so i she really better not do it!......................the things mom's come up with! :D

Younger kids having cell phones boggles my mind. My parents got me a cell phone when I got my drivers license. That, to me, makes sense. If I ever got into an accident, I'd be able to reach them, if they needed me to pick something up while I was out, I could.

I guess I just think that kids younger than that are at an age where their parents should know where they are/what they're doing anyway? So why do they need a cell phone? My 8-year-old cousin has one. Blows my mind.

i agree. my daughter got one when she was 17 and even then i thought it was pretty unnecc. since we have a home phone and every one of her friends had one so IF there was an emergency... there was a phone every where she went.
