I'm not sure if it's because of the increase in dry air pressure, or perhaps it's an age-old pass-time that I'm just noticing more and more....but I am CONSTANTLY watching kids pick their noses!
Now that I'm more aware of it, I'm seeing it everywhere and it's really grossing me out.
The funny thing is, the students don't really seem to notice each other digging away! Or maybe they are just choosing to ignore their friends knuckle-deep in their nasal cavity.
I don't want to embarrass them by centering them out, but my classes all share and touch the same instruments, and I really don't want the passing of booger juice between my students. I have quietly been asking them to stop...but it's getting to be a bit much!
In the last couple of days alone, I've asked at least half a dozen kids in different classes to wash their hands in the middle of class before touching an instrument again. They all oblige without issue, but some even go right back to picking!
Maybe it's the colder, dryer weather? Maybe they're bored? Maybe their hungry? (so gross!) I don't know what it is, but PLEASE stop picking - I have LOTS of kleenex!
