DH and I are slightly at odds over this one. I am a SAHM so there's no inconvenience to me whether the Dc are at home or at school.
When they have a bad cold (not a just runny nose but a sore throat and a chesty cough and maybe a small temperature), I keep them at home. He thinks they should be in school.
If they were doing their GCSEs then I'd agree. But at primary school, it seems to me that the pace is so slow that c a child could miss three months without it makign any meaningful difference (especially in KS1).
What do other people do when its easy to keep the DC at home?
