School Nursing is like a box of chocolates

Today, falling in the "other duties as assigned" category: I accompanied the principal to a child's house. She was taking a totally and repeatedly out of control boy home because mom was not going to be able to pick him up. This kid has, in the past, bitten, kicked, spit, and more on/at people, and when he gets out of control in the classroom, he gets sent to the office. When he gets sent to the office, no one can think through his screams nor relax for fear of being attacked, so he gets suspended. But when he gets suspended, mom doesn't have a car, so the principal's new and easiest method of coping is to drive him home herself.
