[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The level of babying the shit out of everyone is over the top! It's a good thing they don't take temps at the door no one would be in school, ever. [/quote]

We know you're trolling and sockpuppeting. Mostly because you are vile and a very shitty writer. Why did you have kids if you don't want to take care of them when they are sick? This has nothing to do with babying you idiot. It's about not infecting others with your shit.[/quote]

Do you believe that all of the kids in school are not sick???? Does that even make sense to you? Everyone is going in sick, not even realizing that they are sick. My kiddo said absolutely nothing to me last night or this morning before going to school about not feeling good. For this theory of "everyone go home" to work they would have to check temps at the door. Thank God they don't do that because kids are constantly sick.

You are a complete dumbass. It must be nice to be able to stay home with kids non-stop. WTF? Are you serious right now I can't tell. [/quote]

I’m the teacher who posted above. When you send your feverish child to school, others suffer. Period.

I missed 5 days, meaning 140 students didn’t have access to their teacher.

I do care about other people. I just don't think that this makes sense. If we knew for sure that kids didn't have a fever, that would be one thing, but that's not really how it works. It would make more sense to have everyone fight it off at once. We went to school sick as kids.

I can’t see my mother because I can’t take illness to her. But at least that’s better than my coworker who took the flu to her husband with cancer recently.

I have a student who was recently hospitalized because of what he caught at school.

So it’s “just a sick kid” to you, but I see the domino effect every day. When you send your sick child, you create major issues for others. Sometimes it turns serious.

But nobody can make you care about other people, I guess. [/quote][/quote]

I care about other people. But this logic does not make sense. We went to school sick and everyone fought off whatever the bug was. Since we know that kids go to school sick anyways, you might as well scratch the idea of keep them fever free. Maybe have a red day or week type of announcement so those that have a weak immune systems can keep their kids out or wear masks. [/quote]

So the kids with weakened immune systems should stay home so your sick child can go to school?  SERIOUSLY?

And what about the teachers? There are 3 million (or more) in the US. Some are also immunocompromised, or they live with people who are. Want them to stay home, too? You realize we already have shortage of people willing to deal with the stress of teaching, right?

So all of these people (immunocompromised students, teachers, etc.) should make accommodations for you? So you can offload your sick child and go about your day? [/quote]

Yeah, kind of like what doctors do. If you ask a pediatric nurse or doctor they will tell you that they used to get sick all of the time and now they don't anymore.

There are more kids that get sick at once than there are people with autoimmune issues. [/quote]

You are selfish and it's not how it works.  I have a horrible genetic illness and autoimmune issues.  If I get sick monthly, which happens, it doesn't make me stronger, it makes me more sick.  Thanks to people like you have had all kinds of issues because of having to take regular antibiotics and steroids and because of those it lands me in the hospital regularly.  How about coming over and taking care of my kids when I'm hospitalized because of your selfish behavior.[/quote]

Your case proves the point. If the kids all got sick at the same time and got over the sickness at once, wouldn't it reduce the window of infection? This bug seems to last for weeks and weeks on end. it's obviously not just my behavior or there wouldn't be a problem. Most parents send the kids in no matter what. Let's try something different because the rule does not make sense. [/quote]

DP. The rules are logical and they exist to benefit the community. If you are feverish, you are likely very contagious. STAY HOME until you are fever free for 24 hours, and then we can keep your disease from spreading exponentially.

You choose not to follow this because you think your convenience is more important than your child’s comfort or the community’s well-being. You don’t mind putting others at risk because it doesn’t actually impact you. Why should you care if your kid’s 101 fever in the classroom sends a teacher’s spouse to the ICU?

And no, most parents are good members of the community. Those on this thread who send in their sick kids are the minority (thankfully). But they do plenty of damage because of their selfishness. [/quote]
