A Girl in Tennessee Has Been Sent Home From School 24 Times This Year For Smelling Bad

Okay we all had a smelly kid in class right? Some of us had more than one. If you think that you didn't have a smelly kid in school then chances are it was you and no one ever told you. Sorry about your luck stink! Seriously, I had a couple of kids that I went to school with that were well off, came from a middle class family and they were just lazy and stunk!  We all just accepted it and no big deal. Well I am here to report that a level of funkiness has been reached where a student has actually been sent home twenty four times!

Krystal Hensley of Washington County, Tennessee has an eight-year-old daughter in second grade. This school year, the girl has been sent home from school twenty four times for smelling bad. School officials say the girl's smell is so bad that other students and teachers say they can't focus. The school has warned since October if corrective measures aren't taken, the suspensions will continue.

Krystal says, quote, "They just say it's a foul odor they send her home at least once a month. She's been to a doctor and it's not a medical problem. You go to school to learn, not to be sent home."

Krystal also says her daughter takes a bath every day but when school officials asked the girl the last time she took a bath or a shower, she said she couldn't remember.

The Department of Children's Services DID investigate the house at one point. It's not clear what happened in their investigation, but they say the case is now closed.
