[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don’t think your kid should stay home for a cold (since she has negative COVID tests, including PCR). No one stayed home for a cold before COVID. And we are a COVID cautious family. [/quote] This is absolutely not true. I’m a teacher and there’s always been families who did the right thing by keeping their kids home for a cold. Sure, some sent their kids anyway, but our most common reason for absences was a kid having a cold. Sick kids don’t learn as well. Schools usually can’t keep them dosed with Zarbee’s or DayQuil to help them feel better. My district doesn’t even allow kids to self administer medicated cough drops.[/quote] Most people don’t feel very sick with a cold and colds can last several days. People don’t need to miss school for a cold unless the feel unwell. You miss for a fever, vomiting…[/quote] You stay home out of consideration for others. [/quote]
