AIBU to keep my child off school whilst they remove asbestos?

[deendon]

So I'll keep it short school plans to spend 11 weeks during term time renovating and doing what sounds like major asbestos removal, then another 6 ish weeks later in the year (might turn into 11 they haven't decided how much to do) doing the same thing in other classrooms.

School is small primary, child will I think be in same building although some asbestos may be on outside.

we live round the corner and along a bit and as far as I am concerned I am concerned about even being at home whilst this is going on, never mind child at school.

So WWYD?

I attended a private school with a low asbestos ceiling in one little. We used to run down the hall, and grab handfuls off the ceiling, throwing the all sat each other. There's no reason to keep your child out of school.
Abestos exposure is much worse for smokers. The two things are very synergistic.
