[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]There is what the school/DCPS says is the policy and then there is reality. My kid was in DCPS Pk3 last year. Sick kids were in the classroom year round and nobody was sent home. Kids would vomit on the regular, be generally pretty sick. There are a lot of people who will look the other way when they want/need to get to work and our teachers were not good at enforcing the policy. I'm sure you will hear of a range of experiences-maybe some teachers were better than others about this. So, I don't have high hopes that DCPS will be keeping coronavirus at bay. It may be different at the teacher level this year because many will be generally concerned about their own safety if they are in the classroom. You are going to probably experience a wide range of responses school by school, class by class and not some well-oiled DCPS infection control machine. Sorry to be so grim but honestly its gonna be a mess. Hope I'm wrong!![/quote]
It’s not the teachers. We don’t want sick kids coughing in our classrooms, throwing up on our floors, or wiping their runny noses on their friends. If they don’t have a fever over 100.4 then the nurse won’t call home. [/quote]

Even if they just vomited everywhere they hesitate! I have to 'fight' for the nurse to call home after they literally threw up all over the floor. I't pretty ridiculous. [/quote]
