'Don't keep people home': Govt to give public health advice around sending sick children to school - Seymour
Why would you want sickness to spread at schools? This will get kids sick, it will get their teachers sick, kids will take it home to parents and get them sick. What’s the impact to education but also to the wider workforce and productivity?
Most sickness isn’t that bad. You can go to school with a runny nose or a cough. The teachers will build up immunity so they won’t be getting sick every week. Stop bubblewrapping children and trying to hide them from everything.
Its ok to keep you kid home from school if they’re vomiting or have measles but common cold just send them to school. It’s a reasonable take from Seymour.
We are talking about kids going to school with a little cold. Teachers generally get the flu shot each season and aren’t getting the cold every single time they come in contact with it.
Thinking you need to hold kids home for two to three days each time they are a little sick is the reason why absence have doubled and kids are missing more school than ever and falling behind.
Do you think teachers are being excluded from society because someone came in with a runny nose?
Nobody wants to catch “a little cold” because you don’t want to look after your crotch goblins.
Keep sick kids home.
