I'm skeptical as well. We use it with ourkids because it's so handy.
It goes in the car, the diaper bag, etc. and is better than nothing when water isn't available. Although I'm still not sure why it's needed in the classroom. |

I am guessing it is because it is quicker and easier than having 20+
children washing their hands before snacks, lunch etc., and young children do not always wash well after using the restroom. Marilyn "Shawn" wrote in message oups.com... I'm skeptical as well.

Wet a towel or two , put in a nylon bag and it is useful to wipe hands
faces etc,,,, mirjam I am guessing it is because it is quicker and easier than having 20+ children washing their hands before snacks, lunch etc., and young children do not always wash well after using the restroom.

They are not good for your skin - very drying. As long as you wash your hands regularly, you shouldn't need them. Matthew and I were just talking the other day about a pet store that I like to drop in to visit from time to time... gotta see little baby puppies once in a while, you know, even though my Casper makes my heart smile. ) Anyway, they don't want people touching the puppies anymore. They used to have a bottle of the hand sanitizer stuff right beside the cages with a sign that asked people to use the stuff before touching the puppies so they wouldn't get sick from any germs you might bring in with you. I was wondering if perhaps the puppies started getting sick from people actually using the stuff, considering that most baby puppies are teething and love to chew on fingers. *shrug* Just a thought. That could be. Higs, Katherine |

I actually prefer the damp wipes (which I know also have alcohol in/on them), or even just a damp face cloth taken along in a plastic bag, to the sanitizer.... but that is just my own personal preference. I will use the sanitizer when necessary though. Gemini |

I didn't think it was a good idea and it wasn't, he became fidgety and noisy. I took him over and gave him a wet wipe to play with, in the absence of aything else. He sat happily chewing it for the rest of the performance - but didn't show any ill-effects. Mary |

"Marilyn" fcorliss at comcast dot net wrote in message . .. I am also extremely skeptical of this story. snipped Anyway- considering the problems it can cause, I would hope that a teacher closely supervises a young child anytime a hand gel is used. Yes, you would think that anything a child could potentially put in their mouths that *might* have problems with it, would be supervised carefully by teachers. I can remember a couple of kids I went to school with eating paste (that thick white stuff) and the teachers telling them to stop. I had a *tiny* bit on my fingers one day (when I was little I *hated* getting anything on my hands and had to wash them off (actually I *still* hate having my hands sticky)... my Mom used to put a pan of water outside for me while I was making mudpies. LOL) and touched it to my tongue to see what the attraction was... it was pretty gross as I remember, so I have no idea why some kids liked eating the stuff. p~~ Because it was wintergreen-flavored! If they didn't want kids to eat it, they shouldn't have packaged it with a candy flavor. Personally I ate tons of it in first & second grade. |
