[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Not only are there supply and cleaning issues but some of the practices around sick students have to change. I’ve had a kid throw up on the floor and take the whole class outside because it took too long to get a custodian to clean up. I’ve had kids sent back to class with a basin because they didn’t actually throw up in front of the nurse. Kids come back to class if they don’t have a fever or they can’t get in contact with a parent/guardian but are clearly ill. And of course there are the kids who tell you they had a fever or threw up that morning but there they are at school.  All of this has become the teacher’s problem and that has to change if we plan to keep students and teachers safe. [/quote]

I'm a parent and I completely agree, and wish this had never been handled so laxly. When a kid in my kid's class throws up at school (my kids always report this to me) and then is back the next day, I strongly resent their parents for sending them.[/quote]

Vomit doesn’t always require quarantine. Many vomiting instances are a result of food poisoning which is not contagious. Why the contempt? Kids need to be in school and parents know their kids better than your 3rd hand expertise.[/quote]

The rule is 24 hours vomit and fever free.  Come on, if your kid threw up on Tuesday don’t bring them back Wednesday. It’s disgusting and an obvious F you to the rules and others in the class (students and teachers).  [/quote]

This. I don't care what you think the reason is your kid threw up. There is always the chance they have a stomach virus or the flu. Follow the rules which are there to protect everybody.[/quote]
