Oh now you're changing your story. No one is talking about you sending your kid to school thinking all is well. You were arguing that its not big deal to send kids with fever to school and that we are babying them too much by keeping them at home. You are an idiot. You absolutely should stay at home with your sick kids. I don't give a shit about your reasons why you don't think it's a good idea or it's too inconvenient for you. |
I see your post embedded inside mine above. I regularly have students in my 1st period class who are noticeably sick. They didn’t come down with a fever in the last 10 minutes; they came to school this way. And I have sat with students trying to go home, hearing their parents say they won’t pick them up. There’s a difference between a cold (no fever, runny nose) and the flu (fever, body aches). I see lethargic students with fevers regularly. They have no business being at school. They are miserable and often sleeping at their desks. I watch these illnesses take out the students around them. Kid has a cold? Whatever. The flu? KEEP THEM HOME. It’s irresponsible and selfish. |
I care about other people. But this logic does not make sense. We went to school sick and everyone fought off whatever the bug was. Since we know that kids go to school sick anyways, you might as well scratch the idea of keep them fever free. Maybe have a red day or week type of announcement so those that have a weak immune systems can keep their kids out or wear masks. |
They send them to school so that you have to deal with them and they don't. Send the kids to the nurse and ask that parents pick them up. It's incredibly unfair to you to have to deal with this all the time. |
Or your could just follow the rules and keep your sick kid at home!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! |
Ok, I'm an idiot. I think you just need to call me that to make yourself feel better. That's very small of you. I think I will try to see if there is a way you can have your kids say no to getting their temps checked. |
So the kids with weakened immune systems should stay home so your sick child can go to school? SERIOUSLY? And what about the teachers? There are 3 million (or more) in the US. Some are also immunocompromised, or they live with people who are. Want them to stay home, too? You realize we already have shortage of people willing to deal with the stress of teaching, right? So all of these people (immunocompromised students, teachers, etc.) should make accommodations for you? So you can offload your sick child and go about your day? |
Must. Be. A. Robot. Just blankly follow rules. Don't ask questions. |
Yeah, kind of like what doctors do. If you ask a pediatric nurse or doctor they will tell you that they used to get sick all of the time and now they don't anymore. There are more kids that get sick at once than there are people with autoimmune issues. |

You are selfish and it's not how it works. I have a horrible genetic illness and autoimmune issues. If I get sick monthly, which happens, it doesn't make me stronger, it makes me more sick. Thanks to people like you have had all kinds of issues because of having to take regular antibiotics and steroids and because of those it lands me in the hospital regularly. How about coming over and taking care of my kids when I'm hospitalized because of your selfish behavior. |
Why for using logic and reason? Way to stay open-minded for trying things in a new way. wow. Way to be forward thinking. |
Your case proves the point. If the kids all got sick at the same time and got over the sickness at once, wouldn't it reduce the window of infection? This bug seems to last for weeks and weeks on end. it's obviously not just my behavior or there wouldn't be a problem. Most parents send the kids in no matter what. Let's try something different because the rule does not make sense. |
There isn’t and there shouldn’t be precisely because of people like you. |
