[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]To sum up:

If you possibly can, when your kid is clearly sick, including symptoms such as fever or GI issues in the past 24 hours, keep them home.  The vast majority don't care about a runny nose with no other symptoms in a kid who clearly has normal energy levels.  No one expects a person with congestion due to allergies to stay home.  Kids can keep wearing masks sometimes at school if they need to.

We should all work to change the culture, so that all workers have access to adequate sick leave and so that this idea that you have to push through illness at school or at a job is recognized as bat-sh*t.

With the changes that have been made during the pandemic, there should be no reason that people can't join meetings remotely if they are sick but otherwise able to do so or that kids, particularly the high-schoolers, could not attend virtually when sick but able to do so.  [/quote]

No one posting on here is in a position to do anything about sick leave policy at workplaces.[/quote]
