Me and gav were both on a rant about this before and talking about our schools. apparently this parent kept sending their kid to school with nits in his juniors..all the class was treated multiple times but this kid never got treated and just kept being sent..as such the kid got picked on til he was like 15 as everyone remembered the time he kept giving people nits. Its just awful really..

We had a lad at our junior school too, that was sent in with a very contagious stomach bug..half the school caught it after he puked all over assembly (I do wonder sometimes if thats where my fear of vomit came from...as I was maybe 6 or so then...) who was also outcasted even though it wasn't his fault his parents couldn't be arsed to look after him at home...

Ugh it all annoys me so much

Oh yeah totally agree with that

And yeah, you know I bet everyone can remember a similar nit story about a particular kid. I don't know why people have kids if they can't be bothered to look after them properly

No excuse at all then
