| My son keeps snacks at school, and it would drive me crazy because the people in the office (not nurses) would keep giving him snacks until he felt better, and then he would go too high. Apparently California schools don't have a budget for full time nurses anymore, so one nurse covers the entire district and shows up for a few hours once a week. I would repeatedly tell the office manager to just give him one juice box and wait 15 minutes before giving him anything else. It never sank in.
In defense of the parents at your moms school, it is better to be too high, than too low. Especially when you aren't there to supervise your kid. I would rather have them give a little extra to my son, than not give him enough. I can always have him take a shot when he gets home. |
