That's funny, "bachelor" doesn't seem to have an age implied, but "bachelorette" sounds like a young woman!

"Sexy Senior!"

Being taken to the river for an end of School year picnic at 13 - we all went in the School's bus, and no one wore hats or sunscreen and we got badly sunburnt - was a tradition - because 2 yrs later my sis went through exactly the same.
Talk about responsible School staff - not.

I don't know how long ago this was but now a days, the teachers cannot apply sunscreen to the children because it's considered a medicine. The parents are responsible for applying it to their own children and if they don't and the child gets a sunburn, the school is not responsible

The school can certainly send home a note saying to send the kids wigh sunscreen they can spply themselves, and a hat, can't they?

I don't think so. A child cannot give themselves their own medicine or apply their own sunblock because those things have to be regulated and they don't want that child to share anything with another student. A hat, obviously, they can have. But not the sunblock. That would have to be applied at home, before the child gets to school

Keeping in mind, I'm talking elementary aged children-5th grade and younger. I don't know the regulations for older kids

In our (public) school, high schoolers can dose themselves, but a nurse needs parental permission to do so. The running joke is whether you'd like an ice pack or bandaid, because those are the choices if you don't have paperwork in.

You can't really stop the kids. If they have ibuprofen or other medicines, they can just go to the bathroom and take it.

In my son's (private) school, they are encouraged to bring sunscreen and apply it themselves. But, being kids, they don't. It isn't cool.

Do you play them?

With no remote ... unless you count the two-legged ones ...the kids!

Ohmygosh yes... we were charged with changing the channel and retrieving snacks and drinks from the kitchen for our parents.
