[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My daughter has had a cough and congestion for a week.  We didn't bother testing and if she were in school, we would send her.

Did she have covid?  Who knows!!  I am actually hoping it was covid, so we don't have to worry about it for a while lol.

Yeah just get the other kids and adults sick in the building. You’re a real gem. Pre-times this was looked down on too. My first year teaching I had pneumonia 4 times bc idiots sent their kids sick.[/quote]

At this point I don't care any more.  If they're sick enough to stay home they will but if they just have the sniffles I'm sure as $hit sending them to school.  Sorry, not sorry. My kids are in HS and their education is more important at this point. [/quote]

So, their education is important, but not the other kids who your kids will make sick?  You are something else.[/quote]

Np. I can't do this year after year. I agree with pp that my child's education is too important to have these week long absences for Covid plus I don't have the paid leave to stay home with him (and I've felt this way for a couple years). Last year my son had the flu and was out for a week because he felt miserable. Add that to days here and there for colds, strep, norovirus, and he just can't miss that much school for mild Covid.

Our system just isn't set up appropriately to accommodate multiple long absences throughout the school year. It's not. [b]If you are extremely concerned about illness you have the option to homeschool. If you send your kids to school, you are accepting the risk. [/b][/quote]

This 100%[/quote]

What about the teachers? Do you care about exposing them?[/quote]
