What is a No Nit Policy?
A school with a No Nit Policy excludes children with nits from school. While The Nit Pickers supports the No Nit Policy, we also believe that it needs some modifications, as one nit generally means that the child must leave school. We believe that when the nurses have searched thoroughly and found one or two nits, they start to pull them~ and allow the children to return to class. However, the nurse should recheck the child at least every three to four days for the next three weeks to ensure no further contact exists and the child is truly past it. It is not a matter of whether a bug or a nit was on the head first, because a nit only exists if a bug has been on the head.
