Ok this is a weird question but one that was bought up by another Mum and I'm wondering if our all seeing and knowing ABC can clarify if this is true or not....I can't find anything saying it is. This Mum told me that schools in fact get a small amount of funding every year for the use of supplying nit lotion to kids in the school. Is this true? or false?? :dunno: |

In Tasmania.. In 1997 the budget for head lice lotion was included in the component of the General Support Grant pool, allocated on the basis of the Educational Needs Index, and distributed through the School Resource Package. Nothing as far as I can tell in any other State. I HATE this topic, for some weird reason I always end up finding myself scratching my head, physically ! |

Lol that is the reason why the mothers should deal with them as we all know you lads dabble in things and make it worse :) I suppose it made it easier to keep after that though! :crazy: |

Didn't realise people still used lotions and such. I used to only use conditioner. Not a fussy one about most things but I didn't like the idea of putting 'chemicals' on a childs head :S However if there is a school grant for it, it should be used. |

I wouldn't have thought that in this day and age they would be allowed to put nit lotion on a child without at least 32 letters of consent being signed. |

Not even allowed to send the kid home Lynn, no matter how riddled they are or how long for they've had them for. We used to resort to that sometimes when it was so obviously that the poor child wasn't even having an attempt at treating them. Surprising how soon mums pulled their finger out when they had the kid at home non stop. |

:lol: @ lynns consent comment :lol: i remember one head teacher when lucy was at infants who resorted to buying nit combs and making a point of giving them to the parents of badly infested kids who seemed oblivious to it (and the countless ''a child in your childs class has nits'' letters) - these were highly intelligent people (very middle class area, so we stuck out like sore thumbs!!!) who had 'careers' and nannies ... the head teacher spent a small fortune on nit combs and dished them out to the 120+ kids parents (i declined, having several already, and at the point where if she hadnt told them parents involved directly I would have!) actually ive just realised ... since my kids stopped going to the childminder-from-hell last year they havent had a single nit. :thumbsup: |

Ours get sent home immedately...................... I used the conditioner as a weekly thing, if however they were sent home you had to prove you'd treated before they could go back, so a treatment every now and then was needed. |

Lynn I think you are right but I didn't mean they treat them only that they gave you the lotion to do it at home. I hate the things as they seem so rampant up here, maybe it's to do with the humidity or the lack of care by parents but whatever the cause I know when the girls have been playing with certain friends yet unlike in the UK where you would have the odd nit here it's like they give you a head full straight up to deal with! I got to one point where I was checking their heads twice a day (once before and once after school) and I would still find blinking nits. |
