53. And we won't even get into....

giving insulin (most prone to med mistakes even in hospitals by RN's), identifying and correctly treating an asthmatic. And how about those folks that believe life threatening food allergies are a lot of hooey, and coaches that think you can shake a concussions off.

How did we get this way. Politicians peeling off funds to give sweetheart contract deals to their friends or tax breaks to their donors. They try to con everyone in to believing these cuts don't hurt education by using the scores on these useless tests to prove that students are still getting a quality education. When the veneer starts to crack it is the bad teacher's fault. They are blamed for things beyond there control and because they dummy down the test, teachers spend more time teaching test taking strategies than content. They can guess the answer but can't understand the content.

Oh. You didn't even mention head lice. I am so there with you.
