My 7 year old has just returned to school after being off since Monday with a cough and generally feeling under the weather. I'm a full time supply teacher so don't get paid if I don't go to work and luckily my mum had those two days off,so she looked after him. He was much better on the Tuesday hence why he went back today.
Ds announced just now that his teacher commented that he should still be at home because of his cough. Now,I don't believe she meant it in a mean way,but she's really got my back up. She should know his family background (I work FT and his dad isn't aeound) as that into is usually passed up and her comment comes across a bit judgementjudgemental. Like I didn't feel like a crap enough mum as it was getting my mum to look after him. I'd LOVE to have the money to not work if he's sick,but that's not an option.
And also,hes fine in himself. Yes,ha has had cough and a sniffle but most kids do this time of year. He's been to the doctor who said it's just a virus and he generally always gets a flight that lasts around a month about this time of year.
As I said,I hope she didn't mean I nastily but I still feel she was a bit judgemental
