[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]They won't.  Remember, their jobs are just sooooo important.  They'll drug them with Motrin in the morning and send them in anyway.  We can tell by their eyes that they are sick, but there is nothing we can do until the Motrin wears off.  They'll start running a fever at about noon.  We'll try to call.  No one will answer.  They'll finally call us back around 2.  And of course, school is over.  Rinse and repeat.  Every teacher sees it.  We know you are doing it.  And we think you suck as parents.[/quote]

If you can't get a hold of the parents, shouldn't you be moving on to emergency contacts if a kid is that sick?  That should get the parents attention.  But I don't think anyone is arguing here that we shouldn't be keeping kids home for fevers- that's obvious.  But keeping them home for every sniffle/lingering cough means less sick time available for when they actually have a fever.  I'm guessing the preschool you work at doesn't give you indefinite sick time either.[/quote]
