Why the **** do they do this? Seems so ****ing selfish to me. Fair enough a sniffle or something shouldn't stop them going in, but yesterday some arsehole mother dropped their flu filled child off, and now Skye is really ill. She has chest problems anyway and tends to end up in hospital with colds so this has really annoyed me.
If she had brought the ill child on time and we had seen him, we would have kept Skye off. But he was brought late and we have only just found out about it from one of the teachers today who said thats where it will have came from as another 2 kids have dropped today too after playing with him yesterday. Surely teachers should have the right to refuse an obviously ill child from coming in too? Its just infecting more people for the sake of what I see as lazy parenting...only reason I can think of for it is that she doesn't want to bother herself dealing with a sick child so lets palm him off on someone else, even though chances are...everyone else will end up ill too Sorry for ranty thread but I am seriously pissed off right now

That's annoying. Most likely they do it because they'd have to arrange a baby sitter if the child stays off? Still selfish though for both the poor sick kid that's sent to school and the other children/teacher being infected

The Flu Is Contagious. Most healthy adults may be able to infect other people beginning 1 day before symptoms develop and up to 5 to 7 days after becoming sick. Children may pass the virus for longer than 7 days. Symptoms start 1 to 4 days after the virus enters the body. http://www.cdc.gov/flu/about/disease/spread.htm

Maybe the parents have to work ,so school is the easy option, still inconsiderate though,I hope Skye is ok , people really don't think about others much do they?

Me and gav were both on a rant about this before and talking about our schools. apparently this parent kept sending their kid to school with nits in his juniors..all the class was treated multiple times but this kid never got treated and just kept being sent..as such the kid got picked on til he was like 15 as everyone remembered the time he kept giving people nits. Its just awful really.. We had a lad at our junior school too, that was sent in with a very contagious stomach bug..half the school caught it after he puked all over assembly (I do wonder sometimes if thats where my fear of vomit came from...as I was maybe 6 or so then...) who was also outcasted even though it wasn't his fault his parents couldn't be arsed to look after him at home... Ugh it all annoys me so much

I was meaning this thread to be in general even though I made it a bit personal in the OP, but the parent in question doesn't work. The father does, the mother doesn't

And yeah, you know I bet everyone can remember a similar nit story about a particular kid. I don't know why people have kids if they can't be bothered to look after them properly No excuse at all then

You can be contagious a few days before symptoms start, but you are contagious right til it goes apparently. I said flu as thats what the teacher said, I do know this isnt actually flu. It is a very bad cold though..not a sniffly one. I guess if this infected kid didn't go in when ill the others might still have got it, but sending them in obviously ill..is a surefire way to spread everything.

unfortunately, I don't think schools have the legal right to refuse a child to come, at least here that is true. It is part of the child safety regulations. That being said, the school does have the right to call a parent if the child is to ill to perform, and if the parents are unattainable, they could section the child into a room or office on their own.
The teacher should have taken some course of action to isolate the problem once it was realized how ill the child was.

Its not flu as that isd a serious condition and you are bedbound
its a cold if you can walk A doctor told me that if you have flu someone could drop a bag with £1000 in your garden and you would be so ill you would not even contemplate getting it |

Welcome to parenting minefields Vicky! if he were that ill the school should have sent him home? Also I think it is incredibly unprofessional of a staff member to tell you that this kid caused other children to be ill as they have no way of knowing that for sure, some kids love school and don't want to stay off he can't have been feeling too bad if he was playing with other Kids bloody ipad

Still, the odds of it being true are massive Also I don't care how much Skye loves school, if she is ill, she ain't going. Along with infecting others, I like to keep a close eye on my own kids if they aren't 100%, and certainly if they are very obviously not well. I thought other parents would be the same...but it seems some aren't :S And was the Kurds an autocorrect?

They might have tried..I have no idea. All I have been told from them is that he was dropped off and was full of 'flu' (I will put it like that so as not to upset trumpter, even though we know people call bad colds flu generally ) and that today, they have a class of 3.

This is, in fact, how doctors in Scotland diagnose most serious illnesses
