my Aunt (who is a school teacher was telling me) that they had to stop doing it as it was an invasion of privacy and the teachers arent even allowed to check even if they suspect the child has nits. All they can do is send a note home to all parents in the class asking them to check there children... Another case of political correctness gone mad!!
