Today, I have pink eye. Four weeks ago I had scabies. I'm an elementary school teacher, and I'm apparently under attack from biological weapons: my students. FML

Op here....unfortunately, many kids don't come from homes that are clean and hygienic. That's especially true in economically disadvantaged homes, from which most of my kids come. Some I can tell don't bathe or wash their clothes regularly. Yes, this is my first year. Many teachers said they had similar experiences starting out.

If you teach that common core crap you deserve it.

Move the subject of Health to the start of both mornings and afternoons each day, focusing on hygiene.

Why does this pink eye thing only exist in the states. Even google has no evidence it exists.

Ugh, kids are little petri dishes of germs. I've never had kids so I worry if they even touch me I'll get really sick like in that Simpsons episode. Lol
