Quick poll - School or no school today?

[Fllightthebluetouchpaper]

Sorry am not good at this!

Ds (yr1) has had cold for a few days, had day off on Fri as had slight temp as well.

Went back yesterday, I got strung up for keeping him off on Fri, as he has just started school and needs continuity (fine but sick child with temp= home imo!)

He cried a lot at start of school yesterday but soon settled (i am told)

last night he started with bad cough, has a lot of catarrh and was nearly sick in bed a couple of times because of this (not tummy bug - coughing always makes him a bit sick)

This morning he is Ok but still very bunged up, I know there's a risk he'd be sick at school, but he managed not to last night so I just don't know.

To top it all I now have his cold and was up all night with ds2 who has it too! I don't particularly want to go out!

Give me a kick someone

School or no school?

school - always school!

The catarrh can last weeks and what wil you do then?!

home educate?

i alwasy send mine to school, if school are not happy they can ring me up

that saves the moaning fuckers having a go

That's true custy

ta all

Day off!

Nothing like sending in an child who is fully recovered after a cosy day of home care on the sofa

Why do teachers like ill children in their classrooms so much? ? I'm all for quarantine and convalescence, old fashioned concepts which reduce the spread of disease.

I wish I could make sure teachers and heads had proper time off to be ill in peace too.

stay at home imo

Milou2...agreed.

What is it about the british that think its a sign of how strong you are to go into work desperatly ill. It just prolongs the whole thing and gives it to everyone else.

Homeschool

Thanks....well, he was fine and raring to go by 8, so he went. Sadly I have been at death's door all day on the sofa, so my mother is collecting him.

Oh the irony
