- low grade fever at 100
- just starting scratchy throat and coughing
- no congestion
All she keeps saying is she's upset she's missing Algebra and polynomials.
@ChippySuave If she’s upset she’s miss Algebra & polynomials then she does need an expert (JK) Sounds really flu-ish take her in.
@carmahaz We are going this morning. I'll pay for a "let her rest and keep her hydrated" so we can have the doctor's note for school.
@ChippySuave no ‘excused’ without :-( (At least here). Hope she’s back up to quadratic equations soon.
@carmahaz Exactly. Anything more than a couple days and the school gets antsy about the absences. Which seems a bit classist to me. Not everyone can afford to see the doctor or go to urgent care just to have a note of excuse.
Luckily she loves math and has an A in the class.
@ChippySuave @carmahaz
THIS was a problem for me the entire time my kids were in public school...
I"M their parent... If I say they need to be home, that should be it...
Are there really parents out there that keep their kids out of school on a whim?
@InvaderGzim @ChippySuave Not you. Not I hope most. But it is the reason that in CA at least no matter what a parent writes or what the make up work absences are never excused nor ADA reimbursed.
