Letter: Where's the nit nurse gone?

Letter: Can someone please tell me why we no longer have the nit nurse at school?

I managed to go through school in the late-Seventies and early-Eighties without once having to encounter these horrible little things.

Now with two small children at infants school, it is a constant battle to eliminate them. No matter what lotion or potion or regular de-nitting you do, they always manage to reappear.

I know for a fact many other mothers are sick and tired of the situation so please, please, please get the nit nurse back into our schools.
