Like Niamh said, I'd be too worried if I sent my child to school when they were ill.

Schools have thermometers too!

Why can't the parents do it? It's their child.

Because sometimes a child comes in fine but develops a temp over the school day?

I'm not disputing children who are ill should be kept at home what I am saying is how ill was he given he was playing with other kids, not crying for his Mum and the school would have sent him home if he wasn't fit, one staff member moaning that he was full of cold does not confirm that he was unfit to be in school

Plus I love how the Mum has been castigated as a bad Mum on the basis of heresay
