[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I thought of this thread and asked my DD how many kids were absent today in her 2nd grade class.  She said zero.

We're at a high FARMS rate school in one of the 'not-great' clusters in MoCo. I guess we're poor, but at least the families have a good work ethic and don't keep their kids home for BS reasons.  [/quote]

Op here. You'll be thrilled to know that we are at a school with a high farms rate so there goes your theory.

I'm glad your child's class (n=1) gave you accurate information representing the entire state of Maryland. The secretary at our school told me that a ton of kids had called out sick.

I don't regret pulling my child out. My Dh and I have a strong work ethic. Neither of us take random "mental health" days as some of our friends have done. [b]My K student probably won't even remember these 2 days in the span of his lifetime.

That's probably true.

But, your kid is old enough to remember that his mom kept him out of school because he was afraid he'd catch a cold.  You can justify it whatever way you want, but you're teaching your kid to live in fear of germs.  You're changing around his entire schedule simply due to the possibility he might catch a cold.  Pretty neurotic way to live.  [/quote]
