Does your primary school do this? Home visit on Day 3 of illness

So my son (4 years) is off with chicken pox at the moment. This is his 3rd day of illness.

Since he's started reception in September, he's only had 2 previous sick days due to vomiting.

It's in the school's policy that they will visit a child on the 3rd day of sickness.

I thought they are bluffing, but they actually have just been around.

The lady said that it has nothing to do with my parenting, but that they need to do spot checks.

I asked and they said there are a few cases of chickenpox at the school at the moment.

Does your primary school do this?

Hi k it's good. We complain about cases with children like Sara Sharif. I would be quite happy for school to come.

No, but it's a specialist school with lots of children with very fragile health who are often off sick. I haven't heard of it with friend's children (but none of them have had more than a day or two off since school started in Sept) who are at different primary schools either but I think it's not necessarily a bad thing.
