[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Our district had this problem too. They started off the year pretty firm and parents literally went psycho that they had to bring in an actual doctors note when they called their kid in sick for more than 2 days in a row. It isn’t “equitable” bc some people can’t afford to go to the doctors, etc. Same with parents saying their kid needed mental health days off and it isn’t the schools business or they are taking a vacation and don’t need permission. Schools can’t win. [/quote] I am not one of those parents but it is completely unreasonable to ask for a doctor's note for being out sick for a few days. For most illnesses, it's not appropriate or necessary to go into a doctor's office. Doctors are busy and shouldn't be spending time writing school absence excuses for a few days. And frankly if a kid is sick with something contagious we want that kid to stay home! Did we learn nothing from covid?[/quote]
