Let 'Em Be
School administrators in Scotland have been told to stop sending letters home warning of lice outbreaks because they may hurt the feelings of the kids who are infested, reports The Scotsman.
Raising an alarm about the insects stigmatizes infected children and could cause them long-term psychological damage, or so says the Scottish Department of Health and Community Care.
Teachers said the advice was absolute malarkey, and some said they would actually ignore it.
