[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So glad the answers are mostly telling OP that it was ok for this kid to be there. I myself almost always get a dry hacking irritation cough on the tail end of a respiratory virus. All other symptoms are gone and I'm not contagious at that point. It can last like a month! I can't put my life on hold. It is embarrassing, though, in some situations. [/quote] +1. As an adult I usually explain to the people around me (awkwardly) that it's a hacking cough I've had for weeks and I'm not contagious. Pretty sure some people don't believe me even though it's true. A 6 year old probably wouldn't know to do that. And 6 year olds may or may not cover their mouths when they cough, despite the best possible teaching on that habit, entirely based on personality. It wildly varied among my 3 kids how good they were at 6 (still are as much older kids), despite the same parenting and reinforcement from teachers.[/quote]
