[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am a teacher and I have to strongly disagree with you. Kids stay home for everything now. Kids are kids and everything hurts them too. Unless a fever or the child is visibility uncomfortable, they can power through. They can put their head on the desk if needed, have personal tissues, drink plenty of water. A cough that lasts for weeks does not mean they should stay home. Yes, I am a teacher and get sick too but guess what? That is what sick leave is for and it’s just part of the job.[/quote]

Have you ever considered the impact on others.  Sure, its no big deal to you but a cold lasts several weeks for me.  It sucks I have to keep my kids virtual because of people like you.[/quote]

What did your kids do before the pandemic if you couldn't risk catching a cold from them- did you homeschool?  In any event, given that with your strict standards, you'd be keeping your own kids home for weeks whenever they catch a cold, virtual is a better option for you (and their teachers) so they don't miss so much school.[/quote]
