[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The people who send sick kids to school are probably not on this board. This board is full of high income white collar workers. People who send very sick kids to school are probably hourly wage earners who cannot afford a sick day.[/quote] In high wage white collar who admits to having done this. I also think many people here just want to believe they are perfect. Here's why I've done it, knowingly - my kid is super type A with a touch of anxiety. When she does get sick I don't allow her to go in with a fever above 100 (hard non-negotiable house rule). Sometimes her fever isn't that high and she's still sick, but I let her make the call. Sometimes she tricks the thermometer so she can go in. When I know she's done this, I ask her to stay home. She hates missing school, like she'd rather not miss for any reason!! Sometimes I force her to stay home and she gets angry with me. Sometimes I cannot have that battle.[/quote]
