School have told the children, and told parents, that children need to be in school every day in May, and that they will be entered into a competition to win a family day out.
I never send my kids in with a stomach bug, but if they have a cold, so long as they are well enough in themselves, they go in, I try and judge it, and always tell school to call me and I will pick up if I do send them in.
But kids can't help being ill, and I know attendance is a big thing for schools, but FFS! It's unfair on the kids.
One of my children has SN and is struggling in school, and I'm making referrals myself.
We have a medical appointment next week we have been waiting over 3 months for, so he won't be in the draw now. It seems so unfair.
Yes I could mention it to school, but there is no point. They would take it the wrong way, when I have politely questioned something previously about a school trip, and others did, we were put firmly in our place!
