[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I really wish they would stop, but [b]the pandemic exposed how many parents can't stand to be around their children. [/b]They are so used to spending less than 5 hours a day with them that they loose it if the kids are home. It's the oddest thing to me because I love being around my kids and know how to parent without outsourcing to teachers and coaches.

They will continue to send sick kids to school. All you can do is make sure your children are eating well, getting enough sleep, being active spending time in the sun and fresh air, and keeping their hands clean. [/quote]

Unfortunate this is very true.[/quote]

It's not true at all. Parents, especially those with young kids, simply don't have the ability to stay home with kids for long periods or every time a kid gets a sniffle. The old rules, plus COVID-specific guidelines, still apply. Yes, those rules aren't going to exclude children from school for every symptom, but they are a compromise to promote health without unnecessarily excluding fever-free kids who feel well enough to be at school.

Thank you.  I adore my kids.  I have fun with my kids.  Most parents do.

AND ALSO my kids belong in school.  They missed a crap ton of it thanks to the ignoramuses around here.  They were in early elementary when COVID started, i.e., indefinite remote instruction is not developmentally appropriate for them.  If they have fevers, are puking, and/or feel lousy, we keep them home, of course.  But if they have a runny nose while bouncing off the walls, they’re going in.[/quote]
