A Bug's Life

One year we had a little bug problem in our classroom. I'm not talking ants crawling up the walls, or water bugs in the bathroom, I'm talkin' the most feared bug a parent could think of. This bug is what parents hope their kids never meet. You know what bug I'm talking about...it takes schools by storm, puts fear in every educators eyes, and makes every one's head all itchy,even if they don't have an infestation. I'm talking about LICE.

Sandra returned from a two day hiatus at home to help remove the infestation from her head. Her mom brought her in at the same time many other parents were dropping off their kids. As soon as her mom walks out the door, Sandra opens her mouth and bounces on her feet..."I still have bugs in my hair." This was in front of about 6 parents that were already weary about having their child stay in a classroom where LICE had been spotted. You can imagine their faces with horror struck looks as they stare down at this little girl dancing around, and itching her head proclaiming she still had bugs in her hair. PRICELESS.
