At 2:35 p.m. yesterday I went and picked Zachary up from school. This is his normal release time. He jumps in the car and starts telling me this story. "Mom, I'm sick. I had to go to the nurse today and I have a temperature of 99.95. I have to stay home for two days." Wow, really? I'm thinking at 6 he's already laying it on thick, but I went along with it. I asked him how come they didn't call me, to which he responded that he was waiting for the lady but she never showed up. So then I asked if they sent a note home, they hadn't. But low and behold when we walked in the door, the phone was ringing. I missed the call but they left a voicemail. "This is Judy from Como. I took Zachary to see the nurse today and he had a temperature of 99.9. We feel that he is getting the flu so depending on his condition he should remain home for 24-48 hours. If you have any questions, feel free to call."
Now I'm not upset about my child staying home from school with a fever. I am upset that he wasn't sick enough to warrant a phone call to come and get him, but they can foresee that he will be too sick the next day. Really? Where is the logic?
