Hi, my DD2 is 12 and she has to take medication numerous times per day. Her medication is kept in a locked cupboard in the school medical room - this I have no problem with as the school nurse has always been very good at making sure DD took it.
However, what I do think is a problem is that DD has told me that she has had to wait outside the medical room on multiple occasions, because the room is too full....
She explained this by saying that lots of people just go to the medical room because they are bored and know that the nurse is a bit of a soft touch and will let them stay there. They sleep on the beds or sit on the chairs and according to DD sometimes the office is too crowded to get in! Of course, some of these children could be genuinely unwell, but DD says that people always go just to skip lessons and they will boast about doing so or mention to people that 'I don't really want to do (lesson), so I will go to the nurse'
AIBU to think this is a bad situation and would it be reasonable for me to phone in to complain as DD has to have medication on a regular schedule and sometimes is unable to get to it at the proper time.

To think this situation with the school medical room is ridiculous?
