[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I haven't waded through this thread but have a hard time believing all the supposed school admin/staff posting here about parents too often bringing sick kids.

What I hear is the opposite. Schools are very focused on attendance rates, increasingly so, and parents that keep kids out for whatever reason including mild illness are a real concern. [/quote]

PP, who can't look away from this thread.

I completely agree with you. My son's ES is very pushy about absences. We got a frickin' letter from the DA! The DA! It basically said if your kid missed more than 6 days in 6 months, you might be referred to social services. The school also has ample signage emphasizing being there every day, on time, ready to learn.

So yeah, we're not staying out for colds. My 4th grader has some social/emotional issues and is prone to somatic behavior at times. He's been out twice this school year, both for specious reasons. Luckily, no strep or vomiting at all. He does sniff a lot. It's related to his behavioral issues, not a cold. Sorry Karen, he'll be in class today, as he's not sick.

I'm not from the DC area BTW. Don't know if you all get letters from the DA about this.

Of course you’re not from the DC area so you can’t back up any of this post. The DA? Are you kidding me? This post is completely unbelievable. No school wants sick kids.[/quote]
