I get that it's summer and I had my kids home for a week earlier this summer, but during the school year you have NO excuses. Nope, we know your kid is home full time and not "home sick". You can only get away with that excuse so many times before someone figures it out.
I think everyone needs full time childcare but flexibility for sick kids, cancelations, etc. - like you are using to have your kids home for a week during the summer. Cracking down on "cheaters" is gonna come back to bite you.

This is legit crazy and would not happen in the private sector.
It doesn't happen in my experience in the public sector either!

Yeah, the policy I'm aware of is for teleworking and remote employees. I don't even know if there's a policy on bringing kids into the office because it's just...not generally a thing people try.
