lol yes. Society shouldn’t be set up this way but unfortunately it is. I’d much rather stay home with muy kids and relax. I’d lose my job if I stayed home for all my kids runny noses.

Since you have a good job, you can afford to pay someone when you cannot take care of your kids. Or, your spouse can stay home.

Whew, yes, it's a good thing everyone with jobs has unlimited money

You should have enough to take care of your children.

Exactly. I mean we are generally expected to work if we have a cold too!

No, I don’t want you coming in to work snd getting other employees sick.

Your boss does though

I think we can all agree that you should keep your kid home if they feel miserable, exhausted, have a fever, etc. But keeping your child home every time their nose runs? There is no sense in doing that, no one does that, and if it frightens you you should homeschool.

Teacher again. Clearly we can’t agree. Seriously, there are a good number of parents who send very sick kids in. I can handle minor sniffles. I can’t handle slumped-over, feverish kids.

To the parents on this thread who wouldn’t dream of sending miserable kids in: THANK YOU!
To the unfortunately high number of parents who are apparently okay with adding additional suffering on your kids (and subsequently sharing those germs with others): you negatively impact the classroom in ways you probably can’t imagine.

Are you just trying to pick a fight? Because PP literally agreed with you as to when you shouldn’t send kids to school.

The point is there are plenty of people (including on this thread) who feel justified to send in very sick kids. Maybe not the PP, but plenty of others. Clearly there is no agreement.

Only if you consider a runny nose as “very sick.”

If it is a cold, yes, as they can be contegous.

Contagious does not make you very sick

Do you not know what contagious means?

How long s the contagious period for a cold? My DC has had lingering cold symptoms for over a week now. Probably from another child in class who was sent in sick but how long am I expected to keep them home?

To be a responsible parent? I guess um that would be trolling for you.

Are you a grown up? You can figure this out.

If you really are a teacher, you need to work on your reading comprehension.

Drama queens. Kids get sick in the winter, despite your best efforts. Keep them home if they feel sick but you don’t need to be sniffle police.

Kids routinely don’t feel well with the sniffles and parents send them anyway.

Yeah, you wonder why schools can't hire teachers, bus drivers and staff. It's because inconsiderate parents send thier sick kids to school during a pandemic. You can't pay them enough too be around your snotty children. The very least you could do is teach them to cover thier mouths when coughing, keep thier fingers out of thier nose and to wash hands.

To those that keep your sick kids home and teach these skills. Thank you!! Sincerely, Everyone who works at a school.

Money or no money, childcare for unwell children is not your schools problem. That is a responsibility you take on when you have kids.

Well, you also don’t know if a kid has allergies. My medicated kids have runny noses, congestion, post nasal drip cough. It’s not going away until winter. You would think I am sending in sick kids who are contagious. I can’t homeschool my kids bc of allergies:

Maybe the principals in this area are more understanding, but my sister who is a teacher in NE pretty much gets grilled every time she has to take a sick or personal day due to the server sub shortage. Stuff like, “can’t your husband stay home with the kids?” Which he often does but he has a job too. She was even en given a hard time for attending our grandmothers wake AND funeral (as in, can’t you just attend the funeral?). Again, maybe you are t dealing with this, but some teachers themselves are getting this pressure.
