Trish I think that you would love working at my doctors office. The doctor in my community has such great stature that no one questions his practice of still using glass thermometers. He is a GP that has redirected toward taking kids exclusively as patients. He gives the poor patients a lot of breaks and free sample prescription meds.
Rectal temps are a lot more common with glass thermometers and the electric kind. They are used on virtually al 5 year olds and most 6 year olds. For the rest of them up to the age of 10 or 11 it depends on the patient. One thing for sure is that if the doctor wont see a patient without a temperature reading no matter. Whether or not a patient has the capability to take an oral temperature is arbitrary. It is a comforting to know that there is no possibility of a thermometer mishap in a kids mouth when the thermometer is safely held in place in their behinds for those three minutes. They dislike submitting to it and they let you know with their mouths unoccupied. Their complaints are acknowledged but but it does not change anything.
