insists their feverish daughter that can barely stand up is ok to go to school. Sent her out with a 102.5 temp and throwing up yesterday. They can't come back AT LEAST 24 hours after running a temp. That is the school rules (and sensible).

He was arguing with the clerk and then came to me. When I told him the same thing he said he wanted to see it. I told him to wait I could produce it in writing for him. The poor daughter was talking to him (another language)and trying to pull him away away from me (I was trying to be as non confrontational as possible). Poor kid was sick and embarrassed. I felt sorry for her. We called later and made sure she was ok. Dad does have mental health problems-I just don't want to end up on the 5 o'clock news (and I am a sitting duck-out in the open). Some Nurses have had their tires slashed, cars keyed-you name it. I don't get it as much as some.

Parents will keep sick kids out one day, dope them up with Tylenol and send them to school the next day and say they are fever free. Of course the Tylenol wears off, I catch their fever in the afternoon and send them home AGAIN. They of course exposed their whole class by now.:eyes: One day we will have a pandemic. And the place that will be most dangerous will be the schools. And maybe when the mortality goes to 1 in 4... folks will understand why we have these rules
