Only if you let them be. You were a kid once too, so there's that.

I bet you're gross #59.

#61. You're an ass. What about doctors?? Or cashiers? Or bankers? Or even janitors? Every reputable career deals with interacting with people.

1) He wasn't expecting it get that sick quickly in that short of time. 2) How the **** does he deserve this?

I'm pretty sure OP knew what he was getting into. Anyone who works with kids knows they will be exposed to every virus that goes around. Doesn't mean it doesn't suck, though. I don't see how anyone deserves pink eye or scabies though.

Every career doesn't involve working with children though. Children are disgusting, I have to deal with 3 of them every time I go to my fathers. Doctors take the necessary precautions to not get sick, and bankers and the like (again) don't deal with nasty germ covered kids. I'm sorry you think I am an ass, but hey, isn't every 16 year old? What can a girl do?

Also I said he deserves it for not expecting it. He said "apparently" meaning he didn't realize that he would be constantly getting sick. So it's his fault, it's obvious you'll get sick a lot when working with children.

#92. You said "children are disgusting". So, think back just a few years: Were YOU disgusting? I'm guessing that your answer would be NO. Are you aware of just how much your teachers have/are teaching you that will help you the rest if your life? Do you have any idea how hard teachers jobs are? Show some respect. Teachers are absolutely essential.

I most definitely was a disgusting child. Every child is. Why would I bother lying? And I do respect my teachers. The ones from 8th grade up more though, the other ones didn't teach me very important things and most of them just sat and did nothing. I am an AP student with more credit than I need for the year I am in so of course I respect the teachers that helped me get there. I don't sympathize with them though when they get sick. They chose to work with snot nose brats so they should've already known that they would need to be extra careful when it comes to health.

You do realize that conjunctivitis is just a fancy word for pink eye, right?

Of course! And don't forget "the great brown traffic jam" for constipation ;)

I think you just went full retard

Pretty soon Purell will be ineffective as the "bugs" adapt. Then what?

A better option is simply washing with warm water. Antibacterial products cause the germs to adapt. The friction of rubbing your hands under running water is going to remove the worst of them on its own. Just don't overdo it and end up with raw hands.
