[quote=Anonymous]In this case, you know the answer because they told you it’s their jobs. I don’t know what they do, but they’ve determined that whatever demands on them are more important than your kid getting sick occasionally. This is rude and irresponsible but not something you can change. In general I have observed a few reasons that parents do this. 1 is they have a baby at home or young kid they are trying to prevent from getting sick. Another (very common) is that they don’t know that flu/stomach bugs are still highly communicable for a couple days after, so they rush the kid back in. Other parents have zero flexibility to take leave. We live in an area with the highest proportion of dual income homes so it is much more common here than in other places to try and send your kid. Frustrating, but it is what it is.[/quote]
