Omega-3 Improves Your Pet Health » School

I’m going back to school so my cat’s health is getting bad. What do I do?

My cat and I are very close, we are like two best friends, we talk to each other (Rather she meows at me and I answer with a “YEAH” or something and I talk to her and she meows a reply) Well, I had to go back to school, and while my family is here to take care of her, she isn’t doing so well. She’s started to chew her hair out, and not eat as much. I can’t spend much time with my cat because face it, I have a life besides being a cat freak, but I care for her too much to have her depressed when I’m not home, and that’s a lot because of my boyfriend and the Academic Meets. What can my family and I do to help my kitty cat?

Food Allergies And School, Is This Going Too Far? ?

Alan — Sat, 30 Jan 2010 01:14:25 +0000

My son is about to start school next week and we just got back from our parent teacher meeting. This year there is a child in school that has an allergy to nuts/tree nuts. Therefore all nut products are banned from school. No big deal, we aren’t big peanut butter eaters and my son prefers cream cheese and jelly sandwiches. So it will not be a problem at all. But this part is. The parents of this child are now demanding that we not eat any peanut products or products manufactured in a plant that manufacture nut products. These people are actually telling us how to eat in our own homes. If I want to bake a batch of chocolate chip cookies for an after school snack for my kids, I can’t. If I eat a granola bar before picking up my son from school I have to shower and change clothes. These parents are refusing any type of compromise regarding the peanut products at home.
Now there is another family saying that their child is allergic to milk/wheat, they now want to ban dairy products and wheat products from lunch.
Another parent has a child severely allergic to pet dander from cats/dogs, and want families to now put their children’s school clothing in plastic bags and also put their backpacks in bags as well so their child doesn’t get exposed to pet hair.
What are we supposed to do? I am all for protecting these kids, but is this going too far? I have two children that I am responsible for and now I’m responsible for the health and well being of all of these others. What am I supposed to do? If I send the wrong thing to school I can kill someone, and now I am responsible for that.
Do you think that maybe we should home school our children so that something they eat doesn’t kill someone? What should we do?

Is It Possible To Do Summer School Through Independent Study Or Homeschool?

Alan — Sun, 22 Nov 2009 13:14:40 +0000

I am a junior living in Sacramento, California. I apparently failed a class my sophomore year and didn’t know till the beginning of this year!!! I was ok with doing summer school on a campus till two problems came about.
1) For whatever reason I get these boils in my skin. I have another one coming and doctors want to run all these tests on me now. Its like some type of infection (like MRSA I guess you can say) that pops up randomly. Only problem is my school district will only allow me to miss one day of summer school excused or not. I really don’t want my stupid health to keep me from graduating next year.
2) So pretty sure most people know that if you get experience in a field you want to go into then colleges look at that. Well this summer I might have the task of rehabilitating a house cat gone wild while hand nursing her litter. I doubt I can take kittens on campus. For me its a once in a lifetime thing (for not till I graduate college) and I really want to do it.
