[quote=Anonymous]Your son had a mild case but not every child does.
Putting your son back in school while contagious means that medically vulnerable kids or kids who have parents at home who are vulnerable are at risk. I hope we don't relax standards - they are already too lenient and allow contagious adults and kids to stop isolating.

Your question is one I find particularly troubling. We all have incredible inconveniences when kids are sick. The way to minimize this is not to put kids back in school earlier but to keep them out longer.

If everyone kept kids home more responsibly, each kid would get sick less often and we'd all benefit.

So your question should not be how can you do less but how can you do more to be a good parent and citizen.

My 4 year old did NOT have a mild case and he passed it to me and I cannot breathe 4 weeks later. So do not think for a second that everyone is as lucky as your child was.

Your constant reference to why does he have to sacrifice when he's feeling fine (but very contagious) makes me sad. I bet you think you are a good person but I see a lot of selfishness there you should really think about.[/quote]
