[quote=Anonymous]I absolutely think schools need to be more understanding about keeping sick kids home and doing makeup work etc. (for older kids). I also absolutely despise things like “perfect attendance” awards...always have. Horrendous idea. I also think we need much better paid sick leave in this country. I’m fine with strengthened vaccination rules for kids, including flu vax. That said, I’m not keeping my kid home for a routine cold/runny nose if they otherwise feel well. That is absurd. We keep home for fever, vomiting/diarrhea, and/or if they are very uncomfortable and just not feeling well. I think distance learning should be preserved and strengthened for those few kids who have medical issues that make the common cold a serious problem for them. Clearly everyone can’t stay home with a runny nose to protect a few. [/quote]
