Like adults children react differently to illness, by all accounts this kid was playing with other kids so it doesn't sound like he was at deaths door, the school should have him home if he was such a health risk or had a high temp, I do emphasise with Vicky but by all accounts Skye is more susceptible to colds than some other children, personally I feel the school are at fault here as they shouldn't be discussing another child's health with anyone other than the child's parents, and if he were that bad they should have sent him home or at least sent him to sit in the office until home time if his parents were unavailable to collect him.

I agree with the BIB, but it's not gonna take a genius to figure out that one set of parents were irresponsible and have sent a child into the School with a really bad Cold/Flu.

..Calpol can be sent into school, that would be an individual school policy but usually it's just..(as with any medication..)..that it would have to be in a pre-measured dose by the parent but that's something easily done...with this, anything like that would be a committee decision I would think...and the same with children who are obviously ill when they arrive in the morning...it's more really down to the responsibility of the pre-school because like with this, as Vicky said..the children don't have to legally be there so there's no point in them moaning about a child...(and I agree with Cherie, it's not very professional for them to do so..)..while still accepting that child there that day..they need to make their policies clear and enforce them...you can't say to a parent, yes you can do that and then lay criticism with them for doing just that...
