I would never send my children with
v or d bug or obvious fever.
But!!! beause I work, they go off to school with sniffles and coughs. My son has had a runny nose and hacking cough for 12mths and doctor keeps confirming it is allergies/asthma.
99% of the time, just being busy at school and school routine, chatting to their friends ....they come home in fantastic moods and there was clearly nothing wrong with them.
My work expects me to be in the office, and school expects him to be in the classroom.
He was the last one to catch
in his classroom in Aug and now i dont overthink/overanalyse anymore. He is so far behind from lockdowns and he starts high school next year so every day in the classroom is a win.
Primary School children DO NOT need mental health days ffs.
