[quote=Anonymous]I SAH, our kids go to a private school with a nurse.  My DD has been in the nurse's office several times feeling sick but without a fever or anything else that necessitates she come home.

The nurse calls, tells me the situation, and I can sense that she's trying to investigate whether I can come get her or whether I absolutely cannot.  I have said on several occasions, "I'm happy to come get her, I don't want her to have to stay in the nurse's office or go to class if she's not feeling well and not able to concentrate."  I have also said once or twice that unless she's sicker, I can't come get her (I had an appointment or something).

I do not think it's a judgement call about whether I SAH as much as it is letting ME decide as the parent whether I can disrupt my day to get my child when it's not 100% necessary.  I appreciate it, and I assume other parents, working or not, also appreciate it, since plenty of working parents might be in a position to leave work / come home early if their child isn't feeling well.  Or, the parent might know (and the nurse doesn't) that although the kid doesn't have a fever, their OTHER child recently came down with something, and it's best to get this one home before it gets bad.  Or whatever.  It's a parent's decision.[/quote]
