Worried parents will drive down stats and play into the government's hands?

So many of us on Mumsnet have decided to keep our primary school children home for a couple of weeks this term to see how things play out. My prediction is this will drive infections down, and the government won't compare infections to attendance stats and will use the temporarily lower figures to declare primary schools safe once again.

I really don't want to send my child in, but I really don't want to help the government doctor the figures to use in their endless spin doctoring. Sad

What do you all think? If a significant proportion of children stay at home next week then do you think this will make primaries seem artificially safe?

Very middle class area, some ‘anxious’ parents. Only one child kept off and his parents sent him back pretty quickly in my DS1 class.
