[quote=Anonymous]Sometimes, something can develop suddenly.  Once, shortly after getting to school, I vomited without warning.  My mother, who was at the school, immediately took me home.  I definitely would have been kept home if my mother had any idea I was sick. 
We lived about 5 minutes away, but I’m sure if I’d been a bus rider, it would have happened on my way to school without my mom having any idea.

On the other hand, my daughter threw up once at school (in the middle of the day), and I was never notified.  I found out when I went in to help with an after school program and the other kids were telling me about it.  After I tracked down my daughter, I discovered that she had thrown up and was still feeling nauseous (which the vomit in her hair wasn’t helping).  At that point, I took her home, but would have much preferred to have been able to take her home when it happened to both spare her discomfort and her classmates exposure to her illness.  After that, I instructed her and her sister that if either ever got sick at school again, they should insist on calling me.  Fortunately, it wasn’t necessary. [/quote]
