to think my dds school should not ban dd from school because she has 'suspected' threadworm

80 replies

oiFoiF · 23/04/2008 15:44

ie. they dont even know if she has it or not but I have been told to 'keep her off school and see gp' because some other children in the class have got it

ds1 has had it before and we just treated him and carried on as normal, its not going to kill them is it?

I am fuming and unreasonably foul today so I apologise in advance

I am sorry you are being unreasonably foul today, Fio.

As opposed to your usual reasonably foul self.

(but at school - that's LOONY, really loony.

ACtually I dont think you can take OVEX when pregnant, so probably the same for breastfeeding I'm afraid.

oh i cant take ovex then? do you think school will insist I clean the inside of my anus with a toothbrush or something?

Have never heard of school asking for proof before fgs. How ridiculous.

Well. I remember a member of staff telling me that she got threadworm when pregnant but couldnt take anything so had to "grin and bear it" until they went away of their own accord (do they do that?...)Nice, eh?

But its probably worth checking up, I dont know for certain.

I have rang the gp and they will write me a precription without having to go in. I am still really pissed off. I rang one of the mums from school and she has had the letter but not been told to keep her daughter off. My poor friend had to listen to me rant and rave down the phone and in the meantime dd had pooed in her nappy and I couldnt see any sign. Obviously I know she 'might' have them but even so I still dont understand why I have to keep her off school

crazy. They should be following hygiene procedures when changing her anyway so I can't see what different it would make. My friends daughter had some hideous tropical worm- she'd eaten a statue (SN) her father had brought back from Africa. Apparently it was massive and her nursery teacher had to pull it out

DS1's class has nits at the moment

oiFoiF · 23/04/2008 17:21

oh yurt thats gross the worm not the nits....

I am pretty sick of the school atm tbh. It seems to get worse as far as communication as they get older. My friend seems to think its because alot of children are in foster care at this age and they seem to forget as parents we do actually care

I hate these frigging letters aswell. Why cant they just say she has nits/worms or whatever instead of a child in their class. The TAs were slagging off one of the mums who has 2 boys in the school as they always have nits. The mum seems to have some degree of LD herself but she is a good mum, why the fuck dont they talk to her?

I am so angry that I am ringing the head tommorrow and I am fuming about her lunch

OP posts:
yurt1 · 23/04/2008 17:24

That doesn't sound good fio Does she have a different teacher than before? Communication is so important (for comparison I get a half side/side of an exercise book each day).

oiFoiF · 23/04/2008 17:27

half a page seems fantastic, we get no communiciation most days. My friend who i rang also got a 'trip' letter home and also her dd is going swimming. Nothing for us. I cannot remember the last time dd went swimming with school, hence I am paying £14 a week myself for her to have private lessons. Money I have not got but as that big blue thing is out the front what choice do I have?

Poor headmaster will hate me tommorrow. I am sick of the school treating me as though I am stupid/dont care etc. The school is 10 milesaway I cannot pop in and out when i fancy even though I would love to.

and I am a good mum. I am one of a few parent who actually turn up to things like sports day etc when no-one else can be bothered

OP posts:
yurt1 · 23/04/2008 17:29

That sounds really bad Fio. Do they have a hydro pool or anything?

And no communication most days is awful. That was our situation in mainstream- you would expect an SLD school to understand the importance of it.

oiFoiF · 23/04/2008 17:33

The hydro pool is going to open soon, but no she hasnt had access to anything. The physio even signed her off physio. Then 2 months ago we ordered piedros. I questioned where they were. Then we get an appointment for monday to be measured for fucking piedros. But this is the saem physio that tried to measure chocolaterockinghorses sons head with a ruler

head with a ruler

OMG I've just spat coffee across my keyboard.

They should get swimming (imo)

I'm a CA in a SN school, last year we realised a pupil had worms. The 4 members of staff in the class caught them before we discovered the worms in the pupil. We all got treated and nobody had to stay off school. Big over reaction imo.

cocolepew · 23/04/2008 17:44

BTW the physio sounds a right twat
