Can anyone explain why parents send their kids to school sick so our kids get it too ??? We’ve all had the mommy I threw up in the middle of the night. We’ve all had the kid go to bed well and wake up with fever. But keep your kid home !!! Take the day off work if you can !!! It’s not always convenient to do so but please keep them home. If it’s an extracurricular activity after school contact the coach. Let them know you’re kid is sick !!! I’m sick of my kid getting sick from your sick kid !!! I can trace almost all of my kids illnesses this year to an extracurricular activity outside of school hours !!!! KEEP THEM HOME !!! Missing one game, practice or competition won’t kill anyone !!!
