[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP, please know that you are a teacher and not a doctor. YOU do not have the power to diagnose children. You also do not have the authority to write the procedures that are in place, set by the school system when it comes to “sick” children. Therefor, I say this nicely, from one teacher to another… stay in your lane or get a new profession. [/quote]

NP here.

I don’t believe you are a K-12 teacher. We’re so regularly disrespected by others that we tend not to disrespect ourselves. Please “stay in your lane” as a teacher by being instructive and useful. Your post is neither.

Now back on track:

I get that students can’t stay out for long coughs, etc. However, students regularly sit in my class with fevers. I had two feverish students in one of my 10th grade classes recently. Guess how many absences I had the following week? 12. Does it surprise anyone that the symptoms and diagnoses were all the same? It shouldn’t. Your children share more than germs. They share information.

I’d be happy if we could keep the feverish students home. Some parents do, but many do not. [/quote]
