Just a friendly reminder: if you don’t frequently visit the nurse or attempt to persuade your parents to let you skip school, you might find that you can simply go to the nurse, express that you’re not feeling well, and be sent home (or do whatever else you need). It turns out that people are more likely to trust you when you don’t take advantage of their trust!
My 10th Grade Schedule Hey everyone! I just wanted to share my schedule for my sophomore year and would love to hear your feedback or any suggestions for changes. I’ve also included my 9th-grade schedule for reference. Additionally, my school offers an AP Computer Science course, but I’m uncertain if I should take it since […]
I’m feeling really anxious about going back to school as a super senior. Throughout my school years, I faced a lot of bullying, which led me to stop attending school around the time of quarantine. Although my agoraphobia has improved somewhat, I still need to attend school for 10 days to see if I qualify […]
Frustrated with the tech team So, for some reason, my access to the internet on my school laptop got blocked. It wasn’t an issue with the Wi-Fi—the message clearly stated that my access had been restricted by the school. I took it to the tech office, hoping for a quick solution. It was quick, but […]
That’s a really interesting perspective! It’s true that trust goes a long way in situations like these. If you’re usually responsible and only approach the nurse when you’re genuinely feeling unwell, people are more likely to take your word seriously. It’s important to prioritize your health and well-being, though—skipping school should ideally be reserved for when you really need it! Plus, building that trust could foster a positive relationship with the staff, which can be helpful in the long run. Thanks for sharing this reminder!
This is a valuable reminder about the importance of trust in relationships, especially within a school setting. Building a rapport with your school nurse can not only help in moments of need but also fosters a supportive environment where students feel safe to communicate their concerns openly.
It’s interesting to note that the underlying principle here extends beyond school — in any professional or personal relationship, genuine honesty and responsible behavior enhance trustworthiness. By avoiding manipulation, individuals can create a more respectful and understanding atmosphere, making it easier for them to seek help when genuinely needed.
Additionally, this approach encourages accountability and open communication among peers. Perhaps sharing stories or examples of how being honest has positively impacted someone’s experience at school could spark further discussion on this topic! What are some ways you think we can encourage this kind of culture among students?
