[quote=Anonymous]It's like teachers just woke up two years ago and realized that kids are snotty nosed petri dishes. Yes, viruses go around schools in the winter. No, you can't keep a child home until the last lingering symptom is gone. No, you can't predict when a fussy/tired kid will spike a fever an hour later. It's why it's called a "spike" and not a slow increase. No, you don't get unlimited amounts of leave as a working parent to stay home with kids who are fussy/tired or who are still blowing their nose once a day after 2 weeks home with the flu. Winter is the worst but it's a daycare or school has ALWAYS been a cesspool of germs. You can't protect them from every sniffle. The average 8 year old catches 5-6 colds in a year. You cannot stay home for a week for each cold. It may mean some tissues and a tylenol in the morning. Everyone needs extra vitamin C and some elderberry extract. [/quote]
