[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Everyone who works at a school learns quickly who the shitty parents are. After about the third time, no one believes you when you say your kid was fine this morning or that you didn’t give them any meds before you put them on the bus. And yes, the lice parents are the worst. [/quote]

+1.  We know and we despise you.  We can tell when you’ve dosed your poor kid with Motrin at 7am to hide that fever.  It inevitably spikes at about lunchtime.  We try to call.  Leave a voicemail.  You finally call back 30 minutes before school ends apologizing.  You were in a meeting and, of course had no idea your child was sick.  We know who you are.  And we think you are a shitty parent.

How often does this happen? You’re dramatic so I’m assuming never. And I SAH and my kid missed days of this semester because I keep her home when sick![/quote]
It happens multiple times per year in my experience (Pk-2nd grade)[/quote]
You are saying that multiple times per year there are different parents who dose their kids with motrin and then do not answer their phones for hours on end during the day?  I have a really hard time believing it.  Sorry.[/quote]

But if they had Motrin and are fine, Whats the need for the parents to pick them up.  They are fine. You are depriving Them of learning. [/quote]

Apparently, you must have been sick at home during your own Biology class.  A kid who has an active fever (even if it goes down for a few hours with Motrin) is NOT fine, and is actively spreading pathogens to all those around him/her.[/quote]

Yes, and they are 100% NOT learning because they feel so terrible.  They mostly spend their time keeping their little heads propped up on their arms or in many cases, fall asleep with their heads on the desk because the desktops are cool on their fevered heads.  [/quote]
