I found this Ted talk very thought- provoking. It makes you think about the way in which we talk in our lessons, the way address our students and also the people who works with us. It's really worth watching it!

TED TALK- HOW TO SPEAK SO THAT PEOPLE WANT TO LISTEN

Why having a school nurse is so important?

Today a situation in  school made  me  think  about  this.  Children  might get injuries or hurt any  time, or maybe  they have  a disease that make them  need a health professional by  their  side. O  what if  they  faint?
Today  at  school  a girl  fainted and  her  father  arrived  at school  earlier than the  ambulance. We  are  teachers, not nurses or doctors, but  we  also have lives in our  hands.
I  found  a BBC  article  that  talks  about the importance of a school nurse  that I would like  to  share  with  you
