Dear Mom with the Sick Kid during Drop-Off,
I know since you’re not creation eye hit with me, or anyone else for that matter, this morning. It’s since we know that we all know that you’re accidentally perplexing to brush off a fact that your child is sick. Too ill to be in school, in fact. Yet for some reason we still consider that it’s totally excellent to drop him off during school and expose all of a kids (and us, for that matter) to whatever illness he has.
Trust me, I’ve been there. we get a conundrum. You have to work currently and conjunction we nor your hubs can take time off to take caring of your sick kid. And anyway, a child seems improved than he did over a weekend. Plus, he begged to go behind to school. “Please Mommy, we have mechanism category currently and we don’t wish to skip it.”
So we talked yourself into holding him, even nonetheless we knew in your heart that it was a wrong decision. He’s fine, we told yourself. He had a heat yesterday. That’s not today. He’s technically heat free. Plus, we can’t skip my large display during work. He wants to go to school, so he can’t be that sick, right?
But, here’s a thing: You and we both know that he’s still contagious. We also know that propagandize is not a hospital or a pediatrician’s office. Our children’s teachers have a pursuit to do and that pursuit does not embody holding caring of your ill kid. Plus school, even preschool, requires lots of appetite from kids. Sick kids need to be home resting, not perplexing to keep it together during school. And here’s something else: Parents shouldn’t have to send their healthy kids to a classroom full of ill kids whose relatives were too greedy to keep them home.
Although I’m contemptible that we or your associate might have to skip a large meeting, compensate a babysitter when we hadn’t approaching to, or piss your trainer off nonetheless again with your inability to get to work since your child is home sick, this is something all of us relatives contingency understanding with; it’s partial of a gig.
So if your child hasn’t been heat giveaway for 24 hours, technically he is still sick. If his nose is drizzling green, keep him home! Hacking coughs, uncanny rashes, and ill tummies all meant one thing: The child is ill — too ill to be around other kids.
It might not worry we that we are forcing your ill child to perform a daily mandate of school, though it should worry we that we are intentionally exposing everybody else’s children to what your child has. Your time, health, and report are not some-more critical than mine. And my child’s health isn’t reduction critical than whatever we had designed for a day.
So if we can’t make eye hit with a other relatives during school, or we have to explain to your child’s clergyman that your child isn’t really sick, than your child is sick. Sorry if that hull your day, though we only can’t support anyone who would intentionally risk any child’s good health.
Yours truly,
Every Other Parent during School
