[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Is there anything we can do to stop the unnecessary disruption due to random quarantines every time some kid coughs or has a headache? This is madness! MCPS has failed our students yet again. How is it that we can’t do anything about it???[/quote]

Don’t send a sick child to school. I am not saying you personally would do it, but many do. Only in this thread, we have one poster boasting that they sent their child to school with diarrhea.

If somebody vomited in my DC’s class, I’d want this rule to be enforced. Nobody said that one cough or a mild (or chronic) headache would trigger this. The devil is in the details — talk to your principal. Ours has called a parent meeting about this and probably others should too. [/quote]

Can you control what other families do? What about the kid who is perfectly fine in the morning but gets sick during school? Are you going to judge their family too? Entire classes have already been sent home because one kid had a headache from being dehydrated in the heat. This has already happened. School nurses are not known for interpreting guidelines in any other way than they are written - kid has cough, send home, kid has sore throat, send home, kid has headache send home. And all of those cases will result in the entire class going home. There is no logic at all.[/quote]
