[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think people's shock at other responses, on both sides, are mainly because we haven't even determined what a "cold" looks like, in terms of keeping a child home.

Fever- stay home
diarrhea/vomiting- stay home
runny/mucus eyes- stay home
coughing- stay home
runny/stuffy nose- go to school
sneezing- go to school

Lingering coughs are pretty common with respiratory infections. Once COVID is ruled out, an infrequent cough shouldn't keep anyone out of school once other symptoms have substantially resolved and there's no fever.[/quote]

Lingering is different from active.  They are talking about active.  Entitled parents who cannot be bothered caring for their sick kids.  Sad. [/quote]

While I agree, I have very little confidence that the COVID-crazy crowd would be willing to acknowledge and accept that difference when faced with a child with a lingering cough. I'd hate for my child to have a hysterical teacher. Luckily she's already acknowleded that kids have cold-like symptoms all winter and won't send kids to the nurse over them.[/quote]
