Yeah that's shoddy parenting and inconsiderate too, doubly so if there is a parent on hand to look after the child.

When it comes to work, I generally hate it when people come in sick, I admire their commitment but I loathe getting their illnesses. Don't try to be a martyr, just take the day off.

You do realise that kids pick up all sorts so if they were off for every sniffle they end up being chased up for lack of attendance

Well...according to Vicky's post it seems like the kid was in the grips of the Flu to begin with. It didn't seem like it was something that developed over the day.

If the kid had flu he wouldn't be playing with other kids plus he would have a temp and would therefore go and sit in the office and be sent home

Not in nursery

I do get what you are saying though. But the teacher said the kid was obviously ill. I don't know if they contacted the parents to pick him up, I assume they did and she refused, given how she took him in like that to start with :S

I wouldn't expect a kid kept off for sniffles. But for a full blown cold, then yeah..I think its very bad parenting to send them like that

Edit. Even if the child wanted to go.

Parents can't refuse to pick up a kid social services would be called!
