DD has been off school poorly. She has a couple of medical conditions which mean normal viruses floor her. She is past the 48 hour mark so can go back but she is still pale/ legs ache, feeling rough etc. In a realistic world I would keep her off longer however she would never be in if i did that and schools are full on attendance monitoring wise these days.

My issue is the pe teacher is insistent that if a child is in school they are well enough to do PE and will actively ignore notes from home and make them to it.

So dd who is just recovering will be doing outdoor pe in the cold and wet today while already feeling rotten.

Aibu and pfb or is she?

A policy or procedure on how absence is managed within PE is not the same as forcing a child to jump out a window.

If a member of staff within an institution is not following the procedures in place, or if those procedures are questionable because they are seemingly unfair, that needs to be raised with the leadership of the school and not by "bollocking" a teacher.
