My son wasn't feeling well last night and I feel that the school would prefer if they went home. I don't mind but we are now having to arrange everything to collect him. He is an hour away and 17 so not a small child which of course I would want him home. Are most schools like this? I would have to pay for a taxi though thankfully DH is here. The school has nurses and he is in the medical centre. He is never ill when home only at school.

What do they do if family live hours away or overseas? If it's a case of DS would rather go home when unwell that's one thing but it's a pretty poor boarding provision if it tries to send students home at the drop of a hat.

I went to boarding school and we had an "infirmary". Parents were never called, even when we had flu.
