I had multiple kids with pink eye who were went to school by parents last week and then I had to send them to the health room when I noticed it. It obviously was a domino effect after the first one came in and was contagious. By then the damage had already been done. Some parents just dismissed it as allergies when they were called to pick their kid up and argued about it. Of course I was hyper vigilant about hand washing when I could get to a sink but I don't have a sink in my classroom.  I Cloroxed every service while wearing gloves but still ended up getting it. Just so you all know--building services doesn't deep clean our classrooms. When bugs go around we're the ones who have to disinfect the whole room.

I totally get sending a child to school with pink eye.  Yes- if it is the viral or bacterial one it is contageous.  But if it the allergy one it is not.  I have had multiple pediatricians tell me that pink eye is no big deal- there are no other health conditions resulting from pink eye- it is just mildly unpleasant while it lasts.[/quote]

The point is that it wasn't allergies. It was viral or bacterial conjunctivitis but the parents were trying to make excuses so they wouldn't have to deal with it. [/quote]
